Zihad Amin AP Language and Composition/P2 Mrs. Spencer February 27, 2014 American Dream Freewrite The American Dream at the time period was success and wealth. People liked to have fun during this time period, as demonstrated by the lavish parties and heavy drinking and smoking. The American Dream today is opportunity, freedom, and success. This was why the land immigrants came, to escape persecution and/or start a new life. America is unique because this is the most diverse country in the world; there are people from all walks of life that live here. America was founded when the Spanish ran out of lands to conquer so, yes, it was found for certain goals, particularly a new opportunity for the Spanish to conquer and begin fresh. The goal remains the same today, people come to America in order to start fresh.
