    The newly born country of America had many personal obstacles to face and overcome in its early years of existence. Building the foundation of the land would face friction from its natives and its very own people. Some may think that the government they established had even infringed on their personal rights to property, but in reality the government only demanded proper civility among the people it served. When properly examined we will be able to understand the true reality; of how both white and freed Americans struggled during the Reconstruction era, how white culture differed from Native values, and then finally the industrialization of America during the late nineteenth century.…

Religious impacts swept the communities along with a yearning sense of independence rustling within the colonist them self. As the yearning grew a sense of unification grew as well.…

The key that I was able to figure out was that we all believe in the same thing. That being an American is much more than what anyone thinks.

To complete my research I read and annotated eight articles about what it means to be an American means; and from those eight I only chose two of the best articles to write about.…

They are exuberant, and strong. Although the poem is focused on the people, the title of the poem, I Hear America Singing, shows that Whitman thinks of these people as ‘America.’…
