Doesn't seem to be a very unique phrase when referring to the origin of our country. "America" wasn't viewed by many as an assured success in the beginning. Even the founding fathers had fears and doubts. A quick search shows others using the same phrase:
The Founding Fathers Reconsidered - By Richard B. Bernstein
The Heritage Foundation. The American experiment - by Helle Dale
