Can you correct this text please : http://pastebin.com/m8xJ4SwaThe paint American progress, by John Gast is allegory about pioneer who spread over us idea ; in the America continent. We can see, from left to right ; indian horse, chariot, american horse-drawn hire vehicule, train railway line, and western vessel. This graduation of the line haul symbolise the inevitability technical progress ; and the chronological amplification of the expansion migrattory. The indian can't adapt us tech ; that why there are doomed to disappear. Settler take up almost-all paint. In this way, John gast make a procatalepsis about the future distribution of the US continent. So, this painting hint at the past in the left, and invent a vision of the future. Means of transport, are more and more swift, sophisticated, and with large volume ; since when, converge exponentially over time. The storm cloud depicted the wild west ; and pioneer must flee over there enfranchise to european psyche.The leading character can be identifiable at Columbia ; the emblem of the USA. Ineed, the woman stretch, in here hand, a long telegraph cable for strengthen perennial union between colonists. As well as, a red book which can be the United States Declaration of Independence of 1776 ; write by Thomas Jefferson, the same man who organize Lewis and Clark Expedition, factor underlying American expansion. The white angel is also a metaphor at divine mission. In fact, American's emigration, is for some people a god injunction. I'm don't agree with this vision of US expension because I think about men's action are not determine by celestials desires and men can modify the course of things. So « manifest destiny » is a quixotic philosophical concept. For examples, mammals could survive at cretaceous-paleogene extinction event, however they didn't believed have a form of godliness ; and Romans the undisputed rulers of the world whereas, they were polytheistic contrary to american.
