Ah, I didn’t realize there were so many caveats to being “American”. I’d better check my genealogy and make sure no close relative ever lived abroad for a period, had “Communist sympathies” or was born somewhere like Kansas but not really “from” Kansas (whatever that means).
I’ll submit the info here and maybe you can all form a 3 member jury and let me know if my family is sufficiently “American” for you.
You might check on basic English as well. I was born IN Minnesota, and moved from there very young. I know nothing of Minnesota other than what I’ve read in a book. My values and beliefs have not in any way been based in Minnesota.
I was BORN there, but am not FROM there.
No charge for the lesson...
