AGE OF REASON
"What is this...this new man?...He is an American, who, leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced, the new government he obeys, and the new rank he holds...[In America] individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labors...will one day cause great changes in the world."
-Michel-Guillaume Jean de Crevecoeur,
Letters from an American Farmer(1782)
