de Crevecoeur’s “What Is an American?” by LauraB

This depiction of de Crevecoeur's "What is an American?," takes three quotes from his piece, and summarizes them into pictures. The first showcases how people from all over moved to America. The second showcases the sacrifice that many families had to make to move to the new country, as well as to make the journey there. The third shows the hardworking laborers who were responsible for the country's success.
