Jedidiah Morse Libri

Questo geografo e predicatore americano riconobbe la necessità di un libro di testo di geografia orientato alla nazione in formazione, con le sue opere, ampiamente citate e copiate, che gettarono le basi per la comprensione. Difese attivamente la fede del New England contro l'unitarismo e sfidò gli stereotipi prevalenti sui nativi americani. I suoi scritti e la sua posizione teologica rivelano un profondo coinvolgimento sia con le correnti intellettuali che con la nascente identità nazionale del suo tempo. Cercò di plasmare la comprensione del mondo e della nazione al suo interno.
