Why do Americans think God bless America? What about the conclusion of fate?

1776, the British colony on the other side of the Pacific rose up against independence and established the famous United States of America. But when you open the present territory of the United States, you will find that the territory of the United States is more than five times larger than that of the United States, which has just become independent from Britain.

Maybe you will think, where did the four extra Americans come from? In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Simply put, buy it and shoot it down. The United States bought Louisiana from France and seized California and New Mexico from Mexico.

The expansion and development of the United States has never been divorced from the baptism of war, from the earliest 13 States to 50 States, from 2.3 million square kilometers to 937 square kilometers now. This is an effort made by Americans in two centuries.

If the country is big, it will not work. Just like today, a place as big as Vienna is not half dead. If a country wants to rise, it needs the support of population and science and technology. How did the newly annexed areas in the United States develop? Let's talk about the westward movement that directly contributed to the rise of the United States.

1, Americans who believe in God can often hear the famous mantra that Americans often talk about in many American film and television dramas? God bless America? . In fact, this sentence is not American bragging, but comes from American culture more than 200 years ago. Just as China people think that Cha is a descendant of the Chinese people, Americans also think that they are God's own son. This mantra runs through the whole process of the rise of the United States and witnessed the rise and prosperity of the United States.

1803, when the French were busy with the European war and had no money to fight, President Jackson took the opportunity to buy Louisiana, laying an outpost for the expansion of the United States to the west. But what should Americans do when they still think that this is far from worthy of the status of the United States of America?

President john adams internally proposed further expansion of the United States? The United States is destined to expand to the whole northern hemisphere? The theory of. Whether this theory is true or not, it did fool the Americans at that time. All Americans believe that the expansion of the United States to the west is doomed to failure, so the upper level of the United States has put forward a? Fate is final? .

President john adams.

A brief overview? Fate is final? The content is: Americans are God's favorite children. It is God's mission to expand overseas, educate barbarians and spread faith, and it is God's arrangement for Americans to expand to the Pacific coast. Is this true, too? God bless America? The origin of this sentence.

When most Americans believe it. Fate is final? After that, it became a matter of course for the United States to expand westward.

At that time, there were only two ways for the United States to expand, either going north to seize the territory of Canada, which was then a British colony, or going south to seize the territory of Mexicans. At first, Americans wanted to share the glory of great America with Canadians, but Canadians didn't appreciate it. But joined forces with the British to invade the United States and burn down the White House.

This frightened Americans, so if they want to continue to expand, they can only find Mexicans. 1845, Texas formally merged into the United States, becoming the 28th state in the United States. Then the next year, Americans sharpened their knives and rushed to Mexico to grab territory. The war between the United States and Mexico hit 1848, and the Mexicans finally gave most of their territory to the United States.

New land resources in the United States

Why can Americans seize territory so easily? Or because? God bless America? They believe that expansion is God's mission to Americans. America took your territory. Can this be called robbery? This is to spread the glory of God, save the tortured people in neighboring countries, and share the blessings of the great America with you.

John sullivan, editor-in-chief of American Journal and Democracy Review from 65438 to 0845, first explained it in the July issue? Fate is final? The explanation. No matter what you think, Americans were right at that time anyway. Americans are fate? I firmly believe that everything Americans do is God's will. This is what Americans really think in the westward era.

Fate is final? Or the idea of God bless America runs through the whole process of American westward movement. It can be said that without it, there would be no America today. Including the massacre of aborigines and later generations as world policemen, Americans have been affected? Fate is final? He is also the core idea of the whole westward movement.

2. Westward Movement Americans have laid such a big country, and naturally they will not leave in vain. However, the newly joined western States are basically undeveloped, and western immigrants have to endure harsh environment and climate if they want to develop.

In order to stimulate immigrants from the west, the federal government of the United States promulgated a series of bills. 1862, President Lincoln promulgated the Homestead Law, which stipulated that American citizens aged 2 1 year who are willing to emigrate to the west can obtain land of no more than 160 acres at the price of 10, which will be privately owned after five years of continuous farming.

Boy, as long as you are willing to develop the west, you can jump from ordinary workers to big farmers in that minute. As for the symbolic money for buying land, it is not the same as giving it away for nothing. Moreover, the U.S. government also added a fire at the right time, lowering the immigration threshold, and once again attracting a group of European immigrants to the west for development.

Americans go west.

After attracting a large number of western laborers, the United States has become the largest wheat, cotton and animal husbandry kingdom in the world after more than half a century's efforts. The agricultural products in the western United States are exported to Europe and other parts of the world. According to the data of 1850, the grain output of the United States has reached 32 million tons. Objectively speaking, the United States also made a great contribution to the world's liberation from the famine crisis at that time.

The development of cultivated land is only the beginning of the development of the western United States, but it basically makes the whole United States bid farewell to the tragedy of starving people. After the precious cultivated land in the west was almost divided up, the western United States once again ushered in industrialization.

1848, a young man named Marshall in San Francisco accidentally found a large piece of gold from the ground while digging a foundation for his employer. According to American law, whoever digs out the ground belongs to him, so Marshall thought for a moment and decided to share the gold with his employer.

However, Marshall is also a big mouth. It wasn't long before the news of the discovery of gold in San Francisco leaked out of his mouth, and then several unbelievers ran around digging for gold, not to mention many lucky people, so California ushered in a gold rush.

After the news of the discovery of a large amount of gold in California spread, it aroused the boiling of gold prospectors and explorers all over the world. Where can I find something that might become rich with a shovel? There were such good things in California at that time. At that time, almost all enterprises in California stopped working, and many people resigned to seek gold. Even some weak-willed missionaries threw away their white robes and joined the gold rush.

But there are always a few lucky people, but even if only a few people dig up gold, California, which attracts a large population, already has the capital for sustainable development, and a large amount of gold flowing into the market has also added a heat to California's economy. In addition to gold, California has many resources, which once again attracted the establishment of a number of factories and greatly accelerated the industrialization process in the western United States.

1894, when the westward movement of the United States basically came to an end, the industrial output value of the United States had surpassed that of Britain to become the first in the world, and Americans were about to usher in a new century belonging to the United States. By the end of the 19 13 westward movement, the industrial output value of the United States had occupied one third of the world.

Both the soaring industrial output value and the highly developed agriculture are inseparable from the westward movement of the United States. It can be said that without the westward movement, there would be no glory of the United States today. After all, the United States can't dominate in North America. In Europe, it can only be a regional power like Germany, not the world hegemon today.

3, the impact of the westward movement on the United States today needless to say, the westward movement supported the industrial output value and economy of the United States. Even California, with the highest GDP in the United States today, was developed in the westward movement of that year.

In addition to the economy, the westward movement also trained a large number of scientific and technological talents for the United States, which provided a certain foundation for the later American scientific and technological hegemony. This is because in American law, a certain amount of land (up to 20%) must be reserved for educational development in cities. To put it bluntly, you can get these educational land at a very low price, but it must be used for the construction and development of education-related projects.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

This has created a large number of top universities in the United States, and famous schools such as California Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Cornell University have all been created because of this bill. This has formed an excellent cycle for the cities built by the westward movement of the United States and become the cradle of talent resources training.

The most intuitive is the patent invention application. Before the westward movement, the number of patent applications in the United States hardly increased. However, with the arrival of the westward movement and the establishment of various university towns in the western United States, the number of patent applications in the United States has exploded several times, and the developed science and technology in the United States cannot be separated from the talents brought by the westward movement.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the westward movement seems to have ended, but its potential benefits have been growing. For example, Silicon Valley and Stanford developed on this educational reserve.

In addition, the westward movement in the United States has become a unique culture. From the western colonial stories written by novelists to Hollywood westerns today, they are all derivatives of the westward movement.

Western cowboy culture

The westward movement has brought powerful industrial and agricultural hegemony to the United States, which is the most intuitive embodiment. But its hidden value, today, the United States still benefits from the influence of the westward movement, which is an indisputable fact. It can be boldly said that without the westward movement, there would be no powerful America today!
