Response to Crevecoeur

Crevecoeur is completely correct when he describes what an American is. An American is a combination of different bloods. An American is a lot of things. We might have seemed different before because of where we were from, how we would talk, or how we looked and more but we were still Americans. Even today, we are still American. There is no actual word or definition to describe exactly what an American is. The results are endless because of who we are and how we love our country.  

Immigrants from the 18^th century and immigrants today have the same goals in life.  Living here in America requires one to love America more than the country their forefathers were born at. 18^th century immigrants’ goal was to make a better life from what they had in their homeland and this is still the goal for immigrants today. They want to become Americans. They want to have a better future from what their past was like.
