PASSAGE 10 — Letters frоm аn Americаn Fаrmer, J. Hectоr St. Jоhn de Crèvecœur (1782) “Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labors and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world. This American is neither perfectly European nor entirely detached from his origins; rather, he is shaped by the land he cultivates and the liberty he believes he has earned. Yet this promise is unevenly felt. Some settlers find opportunity where others find hardship. A farmer’s fortune may shift as quickly as the weather, and while the land invites hope, it also demands unremitting toil. Thus the American identity grows from both optimism and uncertainty.” 10.
