Abstract

America is country proud to call itself a melting pot of different people, cultures, and languages. With the exception of Native Americans, who lived off the land for thousands of years before the discovery of "the new world," every one in the U.S. is an immigrant or came from descendants that migrated to this country. Initially, "America was [founded] by 17th and 18th century settlers who were overwhelmingly white, British, and Protestant" (Huntington, The Hispanic Challenge 31). With time, as the country established itself and expanded, immigrants become more diverse and integral to the success of the United States.By the...19th century, the ethnic component...broadened to include Germans, Irish, and Scandinavians, and the United States' religious identity was being redefined more broadly from Protestant to Christian. With World War II and the assimilation of large numbers of southern and eastern European immigrants and their offspring, ethnicity virtually disappeared as a defining component of national identity. So did race... (Huntington, The Hispanic Challenge 31).
