The things that made Benjamin Franklin America's 'first American' (his folksy confidence, respect for common sense, shrewdness and optimism) needs revisiting by today's citizens.
Wow! Hetty Green and her poor son!
Very interesting to see how Home Economics was started by Beecher.

Americans were okay with the way they lived, their values, being frugal, etc. but when immigrants were coming into the country and started to live the American way, Americans felt as though it was a threat to democracy.
Immigrants didn't need/want the same things Americans wanted/needed. Thus, a single Chinaman was able to work for pittance compared to the American who needed more due to his growing family.
