Explanation:

Many American Revolution leaders embraced the concept of an empire growing up in a new country. The concept was consistent with a republic; it meant scale and good influence. As early as 1778 David Ramsay, South Carolina's Continental Congress delegate, wrote that the uniqueness of this continent of the Americas was the basis for a world that was to turn into "The Macedonians, Romans, and British insignificance." A popular "empire of independence" was envisaged for Thomas Jefferson, who protected the vast corridors of the valleys Mississippi and Missouri.
