"Looking Forward: A Dream of the United States of the Americas in 1999" by Arthur Bird is a political and speculative work likely written in the late 19th century. The text envisions a unified political entity, the United States of the Americas, which has come to fruition by the year 1999, encompassing all republics in the Western Hemisphere. The author expresses a firm belief in America’s manifest destiny to dominate the region under the guidance of its constitution and flag. The beginning of the work sets a tone of ambitious nationalism, as the author introduces a vision of America’s expansive future while invoking historical and mythical connections to its past. Through a blend of grandiose language and vivid imagery, Bird describes America, personified as a giant, embracing and uniting the smaller national entities in Latin America beneath its protective fold. The narrative establishes a context of national pride and patriotism, highlighting themes of unity, governance, and a future characterized by peace and civilization stemming from American influence and ideals. The chapters that follow promise to explore how this transformation unfolded, hinting at events and decisions that brought Central and South American countries into the fold of the newly conceived United States of the Americas.
