Some searched for glory, others gold, and others God, no matter the reason America has blossomed into what it is today from this accumulation of immigration. By this vast mixing of cultures Americans have grown to be the most diverse nation to unite under one flag. Pride in the flag is always evident but few don’t know of their family’s history and where else they came from. Through the work of our ancestors of varying backgrounds, America has become a power and freedom has always prevailed. The mixing of these cultures has in turn led to a successful nation that prides itself on being at the top. Americans always strive to be the best. To whom much is given, much is expected. Americans are given more opportunities than any other nation or group of people. The American dream is to make the best of what is given.
