MORTON* "The mind dwells with pleasure upon such a revolution" wrote St. Louis Enquirer editor Thomas Hart Benton in October 1819, "one which would... give to the Republic her day of pre-eminence among the nations of the earth." The "revolution" that Benton envisioned was a commercial one, and he believed it would occur once the United States opened a trade route to Asia via the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia and Missouri Rivers. A precursor to *John D. Morton is a Ph.D. candidate in American history at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville.
