Is that what you think differentiates our history from all others, geography?
It is our system of government -- constitutionally limited with the recognition that all rights are inherent in the people and that all powers of government are merely loaned to government with the consent of the governed.
Freedom works everywhere that it is tried. Sadly, it doesn't get the chance that often.
I'm saying without the luck of geography America would not have ever had the chance to experiment with Freedom. It almost didn't anyway.
