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.”
