I'm third generation american, grand parents came from poland, via ellis island. There was migration from germany, the nordic countrys , ireland,and south east asia. Just like austrailians, they were transplants.There were no jews in america, and the garden of eden wasn't in st louis.[probably branson mo]. We ALL know this stuff.So what happened? How is one part of the county "more american" than others? When I was in the service, our company had native americans[4] puerto ricans,latinos, germans[from germany drafted when they were here]. But we had one badge of distinction a tag that sais US ARMY. No difference between vols and draftees.
