Mark Twain called it "pious hypocrisies." President McKinley called it "civilizing and Christianizing." Both were referring

assesses the attitudes of Americans and the moralistic rhetoric that governed
national and international debates over America's global mission at the turn into the twentieth century. She offers a provocative reading both of the debates' religious framework and of the evolution of Christian national identity within the U.S. She also moves outside U.S. geopolitical boundaries, reviewing
responses to the Americans' venture into global imperialism among Europeans, Latin Americans, and Filipinos.
