Hector St. John de Crevecoeur,1782

"An American is a man who acts upon new principles; he must therefore entertain new ideas, and form new opinions. From involuntary idleness, servile dependance, penury and useless labour, he has passed to toils of a very different narure, rewarded by ample subsistence. This is an American."
