1 I have in mind classic works by Sacvan Bercovitch and Richard Slotkin, among others. My own The Myth of American Diplomacy: National Identity and U. S. Foreign Policy (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2008) makes much the same argument and with similar language as that found in Rosenberg's study.
