Americanism, What It Is (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Americanism, What It Is This little book is intended to set forth as clearly as possible what is most original and distinctive in American political conceptions and most characteristic of the American spirit. The field of thought here covered, no doubt, admits of differences of opinion regarding the value and importance of that which is distinctively American, but there can hardly be any controversy over what it is. It requires only a brief employment of the method of exclusion to determine what it is not. It cannot be maintained that Americanism, whatever it is, is a matter of race. Our country from the beginning has been populated by people of widely different ethnic origins. Some of their qualities are perpetuated with practically little effacement, others are obscured by the syncretism of races, but there is no definable ethnic type that is exclusively entitled to be called American.
