Europe extends to the Alleghenies; America lies beyond.

Summary

This quote suggests that Europe and America are distinct entities, not only in terms of geography but also in terms of their historical, cultural, and political contexts. It implies that while Europe's influence, presence, and reach extend as far as the Alleghenies mountain range, America is portrayed as a separate and independent entity that lies beyond Europe's boundaries. This statement highlights the unique character and identity of America as a nation apart from its European counterparts.
