What is an American?

Crevecoeur made extraordinary points. His writing What is an American was insightful. Knowing the era when he lived and wrote this excerpt, causes me to have respect for his views. Written in the ending of American revolution, there was tension caused by major events that happened prior. I can tell he thought deeply about this all. Though some of his ideas are outdated because of generational changes, a part that vastly stood out to me was when he wrote, Americans are the western pilgrims, who are carrying along with them that great mass of arts, sciences, vigour, and industry which began long since in the east; they will finish the great circle. The Americans were once scattered all over Europe; here they are incorporated into one of the finest systems of population which has ever appeared, and which will hereafter become distinct by the power of the different climates they inhabit (Crevecoeur). This points to the fact that we are all people of different ethnicities, viewpoints, etc. but we are one nation. Even though we have many bridges to cross and burn, with how far we have come, we must press forward. To me, being an American bubbles up thankfulness, knowing all the hardworking men and women who have gone before me, compiled of all nations, tongues, and beliefs. They have paved the way for me to live the life I have been given.
