Sometimes, the reason that people don’t get along is because they feel that their role is to be selfish or submissive–not understanding that American simply means understanding who we are so that we can help others do the same.

About This Quote

When the US was first founded, many of the founding fathers were rich and privileged. They made a lot of money from owning land from the Native Americans and from trading with other nations. In order to make America great, people had to start making hard decisions about who had to give up their property and what had to happen for all people to feel equal. By doing this, it created a country where everyone was equal and helped everyone become successful.
