Jedidiah Morse Boeken

Deze Amerikaanse geograaf en predikant erkende de behoefte aan een aardrijkskundig leerboek gericht op de vormende natie, waarbij zijn veel geciteerde en gekopieerde werken een fundamenteel begrip legden. Hij verdedigde actief het geloof van New England tegen het unitarisme en daagde heersende stereotypen over Native Americans uit. Zijn geschriften en theologische standpunt onthullen een diepe betrokkenheid bij zowel de intellectuele stromingen als de ontluikende nationale identiteit van zijn tijd. Hij trachtte het begrip van de wereld en de natie daarin te vormen.
