Genghis Spreads All-American
I'm trying to find an exegesis of America the Beautiful. So far, all I've
come up with is that the "purple mountain majesty" is based on Bates's experience in Pike Peak, Colorado, and "alabaster cities" comes from Chicago architecture at the World Fair. I haven't found anything about the verses that seem to be about Manifest Destiny, and the idea that there's no liberty in anarchy.
