Official Writer Blogs Truth Sorties: Manifest Destiny is Also An Eastbound Reality with Latinos in Asia and Vice Versa

Rene B. Sarabia Jr · 2020-02-03T17:06:28Z

American Progress by John Gast is an allegorical representation of the modernization of the new west. Columbia is the personification of the United States, shown leading civilization westward with the American settlers. Manifest Destiny in American thought, was pesonified by her. Manifest Destiny is the realizing of ideals and according to the American interpretation of the march of history, was a process wherein development and empire as well as the creation of new states was a westward march from Greece which had colonies in southern Italy called Magna Grecia, then Rome which interacted with this and then colonized the whole Mediterranean in the Roman Empire and supplanted Greece as the power, after the Roman Empire collapsed, France followed which led the Crusades and composed the Medieval Romances which was afterwards reinvented by Spain, Portugal and England which received French influence in the Norman-French which ruled and grew in England as well as the Clunaic reforms which influenced a Spain that re-conquered itself from Islam, it grew with its’ crowning achievement being the circumnavigation of the world and the colonization of the Americas and the Philippines. An English Saint, Saint Thomas More then wrote a book called “Utopia” interpreted as the “ideal society” by our current language now but which means “Nowhere” in Greek; and Saint Thomas Moor set the “Utopia” in the newly discovered world which is now called the Americas, afterwards Puritans who want to purify Protestant Anglicans from Catholic influence protested against Anglicans themselves and came seeking religious freedoms in the Americas where they established settlements more pure to their ideals. They were at first under the British Empire but eventually, the second most celebrated General in the American Revolution which was supported by Catholic French was a Puritan and these as well as other groups seeking freedoms in America upheld the American Revolution. France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain helped America rebel against Britain and thus set the ideals of the Puritans, the religious dissenters and the “Utopia” of Saint Thomas More, was made a reality. Since then it has been steady march west. To this, I reply that there is an eastward march of history too. Here in the Pacific, the Siberians and Japanese migrated eastward then downwards to the Bering Strait then down to the tip of South America. Even in Mexico they have a legend called Aztlan (The name of Christ in British writer, C.S. Lewis’ works) wherein they migrated southwards and eastwards from somewhere in the northwest and I suspect that there is Austronesian influence too in that they purposefully settled in an island in a lake which is now Mexico City, but obviously, Uto-Aztecan and Malayo-Polynesian are separate language families. Maybe, perhaps their god had maritime influence but the people where Uto-Aztecan. Anyway, they built their wonder city of Tenochtilan on an island on that lake, their writing is Symbolic like the Chinese although sculptures showing Yoga positions are older in the Americas than in Southeast Asia, this means that there was already a marketplace of the oceans spearheaded by Austronesians visiting the lands and islands of the world, mainly the Pacific, before the west came upon the Americas. The Asians gave their best to the Native Americans while the Native Americans faithfully took the ideas of their gods and ancestors and made it fuller and their own and even originated their own technology too like domesticating Maize or Pinya originally found in the Americas. However, when the Americans marched west; instead of defeating larger and more seemingly powerful states like when the Ming destroyed the much larger Mongol dynasty, the Americans instead, had preyed on weaker Native American tribes whom they incorporated; this is sad considering that there is more honor is to be earned as appearing weak while defeating the strong rather than to be strong and just prey on the weak. Anyway, at least the march westward by the Europeans means that they had ideals, it’s just unfortunate how they sent refugees or dissidents westwards, indentured servants guilty of crimes wanting a “New Life” in America. There should be more missionaries not more immigrants (who mostly go for economic reasons to enrich himself via staying in a place in contrast to the missionary who enriches a place by fostering it). Nevertheless, there is significant innovation that happened in America compared to the old world in Europe which was calcified in their classicism to accept innovations, that’s why leading scientific discoveries like the discovery of electricity, the telephone, the technology of Platinum was first encountered in the Americas. This would not have taken place if Europe was entranced with the East, the Arabs or the Indians and Asians which they admired for exoticism but they considered the Americas as a simple novelty which in the end they have to beg America...
