Is America the promised and holy land for Mormons?

In our history, our Promised land has changed from one place to another. There was a point in time when Judaism and Mormonism were one religion, and the Promised land was in the Middle East, more specifically Israel. But eventually, as the Jews began to sin, a particular righteous family, who also was the prophet's family, received revelation that there was a new Promised land overseas. This was America.

It is kind of ideal to think that as well. I mean, in a way, America is geographically isolated. The South is very hot, and the North is very cold. Both East and West are protected by water. Because of these geographical advantages, the U.S. has managed to become a major country very hard to attack.
