Response to Crevecour

 Crevecoeur said “What then is the American, this new man? He is either a European, or the descendant of a European, hence that strange mixture of blood, which you will find in no other country." To me he is just saying that the only place where you will be able to find so many diverse people is in American and nowhere else. I think that Crevecoeur’s definitions still holds especially today with the mix of so many different races and the interracial couples and children that are around today. I think that soon enough in the future everyone will be close to the same race or exactly the same race, the reason I say so is because has time goes on we start to see races forming and mixing with each other that soon there will be only a few or one race. I do think that the immigrants from the eighteenth-century had the same goals has the immigrants today. The immigrants from the eighteenth-century came here for a better life and for a fresh start on life, and that is the same thing that immigrants today are looking for better life and a fresh start. They both had the same ideas that they could get a better future from America.
