▻https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_Massacre
Les habitants des États Unis possèdent un penchant bizarre pour le 11 septembre qui il leur semble propice pour les massacres. C’est devenu prèsque une tradition sur fond religieux. Je ne vous dévoile pas où je me trouverai ce 11 septembre, on ne sait jamais.
The Mountain Meadows Massacre was a series of attacks which resulted in the mass murder of 120 members of the Baker–Fancher emigrant wagon train. The massacre occurred September 7–11, 1857 at Mountain Meadows in southern Utah, and was perpetrated by Mormon settlers belonging to the Utah Territorial Militia (officially called the Nauvoo Legion), together with some Southern Paiute Native Americans.
American exceptionalism
▻https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism
American exceptionalism is the theory that the United States is inherently different from other nations. This stems from its emergence from the American Revolution, becoming what the political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset called “the first new nation” and developing a uniquely American ideology, “Americanism”. This ideology is based on liberty, equality before the law, individual responsibility, republicanism, representative democracy, and laissez-faire economics. This ideology itself is often referred to as “American exceptionalism.” Under this other definition, America is seen as being superior to other nations or having a unique mission to transform the world.
