I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.

John Adams, in Charles Francis Adams, The Works of John Adams, Second President of the United States: Life of John Adams (1856).
