English-Speaking Union meets
"Manifest Destiny, an American History" was the topic of the talk presented to the English-Speaking Union on Sunday, Oct. 23, by Dr. Trey Berry, the Dean of Liberal and Performing Arts at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Ark. Presiding over the meeting was the president, Judge Jim Dimos. Program chairman Minette Saber introduced the speaker who was returning for his seventh return trip to the ESU.
Manifest Destiny refers to a popular slogan of the 1840s and the attitude of the Americans to be "The shining city on the Hill", determined to expand the borders of the country from Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. He traced the many wars which led to the acquisition of territories from the Revolutionary War to current times.
A special memento was presented to the speaker by Marie DePot — a family heirloom of a piece of wood taken from a barn in which George Washington quartered his troops during the 1770s in upper New York.
