"line of proclamation" as one of the reasons that white settlers felt the crown backed native americans instead of them.

Nicholas Guyatt offers a completely new understanding of a central question in American history: how did Americans come to think that God favored the United States above other nations?

The benefits and costs of this idea deserve careful consideration.
