Do you really think that the US was a multicultural nation from the very beginning?
John Jay, in Federalist Paper #2, states:
Americans are "one united people...a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs".
Mr. Jay, incidentally, was the first Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, was President of the Continental Congress, US Ambassador to Spain & France, and co-wrote the "Federalist Papers" with Madison & Hamilton.
Decisions, decisions. Who shall I believe?
Chena, or John Jay, who was, after all, present at "the birth of this nation".
You had to dig back how many years to try and make your point? About 212 years? LOL!
Am I to assume your point is that all Americans should be descended from the same ancestors, and speak the same language, and even PROFESS THE SAME RELIGION, same principles of government, etc.? Let me guess, you're a Christian, white supremist? ;)
