Jean de Crevecoeur

Jean de Crevecoeur saw America in the late 1700s similarly to how we see it today. He saw a land that welcomed people of all races, cultures, and religious beliefs. While it stays true that America is hospitable in many of these ways today, we now truly allow people to live in their own religious beliefs by tolerating the public practice of their belief. Previously, the ability to practice your religion was tolerated with the expectation that everyone would believe in the Bible and in Jesus. Despite the fact that this rule could have easily been disregarded, today’s America stands as a more tolerant America. Regardless of people’s opinions, everyone in today’s America has the right to their own religious beliefs.
