Jedidiah Morse

    Tento americký geograf a kazateľ vnímal potrebu vlastivednej učebnice, ktorá by sa zameriavala na formujúci sa národ. Jeho spisy o zemepise boli široko citované a kopírované, čím položil základy pre budúce generácie. Morse sa tiež angažoval v obrane viery Novej Anglicka proti útokom unitárstva a spochybňoval stereotypy o domorodých Američanoch. Jeho dielo odráža snahu o pochopenie a formovanie národnej identity v raných časoch Spojených štátov.
