but i see these people including houston as really major figures.i think sam houston is one of the greatest americans, and part of the greatness of his story is to watch his growth as a human being and as a military leader and as a statesman throughout his life. remember, his opposition to secession and then texas, he was thrown out of the governorship. he said, you will lose. was he right? [laughter] he was a very smart guy. >> the idea of manifest destiny, the very idea that jefferson triumphed, crockett died for, polk made a reality really goes back, i think, to the puritan fathers and to the very idea of this city up on a hill. and it's always been interesting to me as a scholar in the late 20th century and now the 21st century to see how it's so roundly condemned by a population that has merrily gone forth throughout the 20th century and continue to this very day in the 21st to continue exactly that policy. i mean, there is a very clear idea of american exceptionalism. it comes across in your week, and it comes across, i think, in the rhetoric
