Excerpt from The Historical World's Columbian Exposition and Chicago Guide
The undertaking of Columbian Expositions by both Italy and the United States is an event of no little historical importance; for though, as at the Philadelphia Centennial, various motives may actuate the visitors in attendance, there must result even to the most superficial observers an impulse which will largely modify the efforts of mankind during the decades next succeeding.
But Italy, which has little claim upon Columbus beyond the accident of having furnished him a birth-place, so little cared for as to be now unknown, and Italy, which however great her influence in European politics, had no share in the pioneer labors which added to the world the American continents: Italy will necessarily dwell mainly upon the memorials which connect Columbus with her history.
America, on the other hand, as the outgrowth of labors which did not foresee her future, will use the past simply as a background for the present, and will emphasize not the medieval conditions under which Columbus was allowed to make his geographical experiment, but rather the new civilization which, rendered possible by the discovery of Columbus, has changed even the conditions of life on the Eastern continent, and which may well accept the city of Chicago as a recent illustration of its aims and methods.
