Did he mean "taking for granted," or did he mean "not taking into account?" The first would imply that the United States assumed that it would continue to make ever greater accomplishments; while the second would imply an ironic statement, that it was premature, because the United States was too young and unseasoned by experience to make such a self-assessment.

Admitted my mistake above, the actual point was the assessment of the USA as some crowning of human history and civilization, FORGETTING that it is primarily just a country among other countries; that is, the USA has been made from the contributions and power that already existing nations had dismissed, or from which they just could not profit, but there is still no genuine "native" will and identity, independent from the reference to old nations in Europe or Asia (in Africa the concept of "nations" is even more slippery than in Asia or even in Europe, where it originated and makes some sense) and, most importantly, from the stage of global development during the past three centuries or so.
There is a great divide inside America about which one is the "foundation" in which they REALLY believe: the founding fathers who would consider religion as part of a combo plate, or the messianic settlers for whom it was their bread and vital touchstone: those who rose from abstract philosophy to reach material wellness, or those who started from a given state of things to develop and get lost in "spiritual" and ideological fancies.
