@American Exceptionalism: A City Upon A Hill - US 101

How did American Exceptionalism, the idea that the United States and its citizens are special and unique, come into being? This week on the show, we'll take a look at the beginnings of American Exceptionalism by studying the "City Upon a Hill" speech given by Puritan leader John Winthrop in 1630. We'll look at the contents of the speech and what they meant to Puritans migrating from England, how Winthrop's words became a part of our national mindset, and how it can dangerous to maintain the idea that America is truly exceptional.
