In 1942, Hall speaks to a large audience at Carnegie Hall, on "The Secret Destiny of America," which later became a book of the same title.
Through a series of stories, his book alleged that a secret order of philosophers created the idea of America as a country based on religious freedom and self-governance.
In one of the stories that Hall cites as evidence of America's exceptionalism, he claims that an angel was present at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and inspiring them with God's words.
President Ronald Reagan is reported to have adopted ideas and phrasing from The Secret Destiny of America (1944) in his speeches and essays for his allegorical use of the City upon a Hill.
