It was also a principal of the American Founding Fathers that our example would spread throughout the world. It did seem to be taking hold to some extent especially in England and France before 1850 and Tsar Alexander I did free 40,000,000 serfs in 1860. Frederic Bastiat comes to mind as someone who would have been at home intellectually and spiritually with the Founding Fathers. Unfortunately, the validity of that theory cannot be proven until we reestablish an acceptable example here. That will take at least the rest of our lives, except possibly for teenagers. As for spreading liberty to the rest of the world, except for those about to be born, I am afraid that may not be accomplished in the lifetime of anyone now living. We have a 140 year worldwide trend to oppose. Identifying the people who have been promoting that trend would be a very good start to its reversal.
