From Letters from an American Farmer

On Wednesday, we started a new person in American Literature named J. Hector Sr. John De Crevecoeur. His name is long and interested. He actually was from France, but he went to Canada.
In his one of the writings, "From Letters from an American Farmer" described America had no "aristocratical family, no invisible power giving to a few a very visible on; no great manufacturers employing thousands, no great refinements of luxury."(301) Europeans came to America tried to build a better society than their back home in Europe. They were hard to maintain a family back home, they had no jobs, and not enough food to eat. On the other hand, Europeans had a better life in America, they had jobs, and they had food to eat, they even had more than they need now.
