WHAT IS AN AMERICAN?:
Primary source document:
Excerpt from “What is an American?: Letters froman American Farmer, Letter III (1782)” by J. Hector St.
John de Crevecoeur.
“America is not composed, as in Europe, of great lords
who possess every thing, and of a herd of people who
have nothing. Here are no aristocratical families, no
courts, no kings, no bishops, no ecclesiastical dominion,
no invisible power giving to a few a very visible one; no
great manufacturers employing thousands, no great
refinements of luxury. The rich and the poor are not so
far removed from each other as they are in Europe....
Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new
race of men, whose labours and posterity will one day
cause great change in the world. 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 have ever
appeared, and which will hereafter become distinct by
the power of the different climates they inhabit....
The American is a new man, who acts upon new
principles; he must therefore entertain new ideas, and
form new opinions. From involuntary idleness, servile
dependence, penury, and useless labour, he has passed
to toils of a very different nature, rewarded by ample
subsistence. This is an American.”
