The United States is a superpower whose influence reaches across oceans and beyond borders.

Wilkinson had a lot of high-powered influence in the United States, Spain and France. Wilkinson commissioned Pike, but what were his motives? He had already sent men into New Orleans and Texas (still under Spanish control) on filibusters or spying missions. He was making contact with Spanish viceroys and selling information to Spain (U.S. military arrangements for $12,000).

The United States has overstepped its borders in all spheres - economic, political and humanitarian - and has imposed itself on other states.

It devolves upon the United States to help to motorize the world.

I'm the president of the United States. I'm not the emperor of the United States.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
