Just Your Average 68-Year-Old College Freshman.
We were asked to write a paper on American Exceptionalism. It’s the idea that our country is special and morally amazing and that the Almighty loves us very much.
I first heard about it from a historian named Walt Disney.
On a Sunday evening, after the entire country had finished dinner and dried the dishes, he held a book up for us to see. It was “Davy Crockett’s Journal, written by Himself.”
The four-part Crockett saga radiated with liberty, justice and righteousness, in other words, American Exceptionalism. It didn’t mention those words of course, a nine-year-old wouldn’t have understood anyway.
“Ready to listen to reason now?” Davy asked Red Stick. The proud chief agreed. Not long after that he and his entire Creek tribe were escorted to Walt Disney’s Fantasyland where they lived happily ever after. They do three shows a day.
