Jean de Crevecour presented many ideas in his essay. One of which is no matter how bad your past life was everything changes when you come to America. In the essay Jean de Crevecour said "Can that man call England or any other kingdom his country? A country that had no bread for him" which made me think of the latin phrase "Ubi panis ibi patria" that he used that ment where there is bread there is one's fatherland. I think he used this because america was providing protection, bread, and land. He also brought up that there is a mixture of blood in America meaning that there are all kinds of people here. All the Individuals from different nations are melted into a new race (American). He also predicts the people of America one day will cause great change in the world. I find this interesting because many Americans have caused great change in the world.
