A book about this country by Henry Nash Smith inspired the name of the “myth and symbol” school. Political largesse in this country was likened to a “great barbecue” by the author of a book on the “Main Currents” in its thought, Vernon Louis Parrington. A “middle landscape” in this country aims to reconcile technology with its “pastoral ideal” according to Leo Marx’s The Machine in the Garden. Progressive historians of this country like Charles A. Beard were criticized by members of the consensus school like Daniel Boorstin. Robert Bellah identified a “civil religion” native to this country. A book about this country coined the term “tyranny of the majority” and describes a tour of its prison system. For 10 points, name this country whose sense of exceptionalism was noted by a visiting Alexis de Tocqueville. ■END■
