Special Features
A wealth of special features and pedagogical aids rein-forces the text’s narrative and helps students grasp keyissues.
• Community and Diversity (see pages xlv–xlviii). Thisspecial introduction to the text acquaints studentswith the major themes of the book and provides aframework for understanding American History.
One of the most characteristic features of ourcountry has always been its astounding variety.The American people include the descen-
dants of native Indians, colonial Europeans, Africans,and migrants from virtually every country and conti-nent. Indeed, as we enter a new century the UnitedStates is absorbing a flood of immigrants from LatinAmerica and Asia that rivals the great tide of peoplefrom eastern and southern Europe one hundred yearsago. What’s more, our country is one of the world’smost spacious, incorporating more than 3.6 million
square miles of territory. The struggle to meld a singlenation out of our many far-flung communities is whatmuch of American history is all about. That is the storytold in this book.
Every human society is made up of communities. Acommunity is a set of relationships linking men, women,and their families to a coherent social whole that ismore than the sum of its parts. In a community peopledevelop the capacity for unified action. In a communitypeople learn, often through trial and error, how totransform and adapt to their environment. The senti-ment that binds the members of a community together

is the mother of group identity and ethnic pride. In themaking of history, communities are far more importantthan even the greatest of leaders, for the community isthe institution most capable of passing a distinctive his-torical tradition to future generations.
Communities bind people together in multipleways. They can be as small as local neighborhoods, inwhich people maintain face-to-face relations, or as largeas the nation itself. This book examines American his-tory from the perspective of community life—an ever-widening frame that has included larger and largergroups of Americans.
Networks of kinship and friendship, and connec-tions across generations and among families, establishthe bonds essential to community life. Shared feelingsabout values and history establish the basis for commonidentity. In communities, people find the power to actcollectively in their own interest. But American commu-nities frequently took shape as a result of serious con-flicts among groups, and within communities there hasoften been significant fighting among competinggroups or classes. Thus the term community, as we use ithere, includes tension and discord as well as harmonyand agreement.
For years there have been persistent laments aboutthe “loss of community” in modern America. But com-munity has not disappeared—it is continually beingreinvented. Until the late eighteenth century, commu-nity was defined primarily by space and local geogra-phy. But in the nineteenth century communities beganto be reshaped by new and powerful historical forcessuch as the marketplace, industrialization, the corpora-tion, mass immigration, mass media, and the growth ofthe nation-state. In the twentieth century, Americanshave struggled to balance commitments to several com-munities simultaneously. These were defined not sim-ply by local spatial arrangements, but by categories asvaried as racial and ethnic groups, occupations, politi-cal affiliations, and consumer preferences.
The “American Communities” vignettes thatopen each chapter reflect this shift. Most of thevignettes in the pre-Civil War chapters focus on geo-graphically defined communities, such as the ancientIndian city at Cahokia, or the experiment in indus-trial urban planning in early nineteenth-centuryLowell, Massachusetts. In the post-Civil War chaptersdifferent and more modern kinds of communitiesmake their appearance. In the 1920s, movies and

radio offered a new kind of community—a communityof identification with dreams of freedom, material suc-cess, upward mobility, youth and beauty. In the 1950s,rock ‘n’ roll music helped germinate a new nationalcommunity of teenagers, with profound effects on theculture of the entire country in the second half of thetwentieth century. In the late 1970s, fear of nuclearaccidents like the one at Three Mile Island broughtconcerned citizens together in communities aroundthe country and produced a national movementopposing nuclear power.
The title for our book was suggested by the Latinphrase selected by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin,and Thomas Jefferson for the Great Seal of the UnitedStates: E Pluribus Unum—”Out of Many Comes Unity.”These men understood that unity could not beimposed by a powerful central authority but had todevelop out of mutual respect among Americans ofdifferent backgrounds. The revolutionary leadershipexpressed the hope that such respect could grow onthe basis of a remarkable proposition: “We hold thesetruths to be self-evident, that all men are createdequal; that they are endowed by their Creator with cer-tain unalienable rights; that among these are life, lib-erty, and the pursuit of happiness.” The national
government of the United States would preserve localand state authority but would guarantee individualrights. The nation would be strengthened by guaran-tees of difference.
“Out of Many”—that is the promise of America,and the premise of this book. The underlying dialecticof American history, we believe, is that as a people weneed to locate our national unity in the celebration ofthe differences that exist among us; these differencescan be our strength, as long as we affirm the promise ofthe Declaration. Protecting the “right to be different,”in other words, is absolutely fundamental to the contin-ued existence of democracy, and that right is best pro-tected by the existence of strong and vital communities.We are bound together as a nation by the ideal of localand cultural differences protected by our commoncommitment to the values of our Revolution.
Today those values are endangered by terroristsusing the tactics of mass terror. In the wake of theSeptember 11, 2001, attack on the United States, andwith the continuing threat of biological, chemical, oreven nuclear assaults, Americans can not afford to losefaith in our historic vision. The United States is a multi-cultural and transnational society. The thousands of vic-tims buried in the smoking ruins of the World Trade

Michel Crévecoeur in 1782. “A strange mixture ofblood which you will find in no other country.” InAmerica, he wrote, “individuals of all nations aremelted into a new race of men.” A century laterCrévecoeur was echoed by historian Frederick JacksonTurner, who believed that “in the crucible of the fron-tier, the immigrants were Americanized, liberated, andfused into a mixed race, English in neither nationalitynor characteristics. The process has gone on from theearly days to our own.”
The process by which diverse communities havecome to share a set of common American values is one ofthe most fundamental aspects of our history. It did notoccur, however, because of compulsory Americanizationprograms, but because of free public education, popularparticipation in democratic politics, and the impact ofpopular culture. Contemporary America does have acommon culture: We share a commitment to freedom ofthought and expression, we join in the aspirations to ownour own homes and send our children to college, welaugh at the same television programs.
To a degree that too few Americans appreciate, thiscommon culture resulted from a complicated processof mutual discovery that took place when different eth-nic and regional groups encountered one another.Consider just one small and unique aspect of our cul-ture: the barbecue. Americans have been barbecuingsince before the beginning of written history. Early set-tlers adopted this technique of cooking from theIndians—the word itself comes from a native term for aframework of sticks over a fire on which meat was slowlycooked. Colonists typically barbecued pork, fed onIndian corn. African slaves lent their own touch byintroducing the use of hot sauces. The ritual that is apart of nearly every American family’s Fourth of Julysilently celebrates the heritage of diversity that wentinto making our common culture.
The American educator John Dewey recognizedthis diversity early in the last century. “The genuineAmerican, the typical American, is himself a hyphen-ated character,” he declared, “international and inter-racial in his make-up.” The point about our“hyphenated character,” Dewey believed, “is to see to itthat the hyphen connects instead of separates.” We, theauthors of Out of Many, share Dewey’s perspective onAmerican history. “Creation comes from the impact ofdiversity,” wrote the American philosopher HoraceKallen. We also endorse Kallen’s vision of the Americanpromise: “A democracy of nationalities, cooperatingvoluntarily and autonomously through common institu-tions, . . . a multiplicity in a unity, an orchestration ofmankind.” And now, let the music begin.
xlviii COMMUNITY & DIVERSITY
Center included people from dozens of different eth-nic and national groups. We must fight to protect anddefend the promise of our diverse nation
Our history shows that the promise of Americanunity has always been problematic. Centrifugal forceshave been powerful in the American past, and at timesthe country has seemed about to fracture into its com-ponent parts. Our transformation from a collection ofgroups and regions into a nation has been marked bypainful and often violent struggles. Our past is filledwith conflicts between Indians and colonists, mastersand slaves, Patriots and Loyalists, northerners andsoutherners, easterners and westerners, capitalists andworkers, and sometimes the government and the peo-ple. War can bring out our best, but it can also bringout our worst. During World War II thousands ofJapanese American citizens were deprived of theirrights and locked up in isolated detention centers sim-ply because of their ethnic background. Americansoften appear to be little more than a contentious col-lection of peoples with conflicting interests, divided byregion and background, race and class.
Our most influential leaders have also sometimessuffered a crisis of faith in the American project of “lib-erty and justice for all.” Thomas Jefferson not onlybelieved in the inferiority of African Americans, but hefeared that immigrants from outside the Anglo-American tradition might “warp and bias” the develop-ment of the nation “and render it a heterogeneous,incoherent, distracted mass.” We have not always livedup to the American promise, and there is a dark side toour history. It took the bloodiest war in American his-tory to secure the human rights of African Americans,and the struggle for full equality for all our citizens hasyet to be won. During the great influx of immigrants inthe early twentieth century, fears much like Jefferson’sled to movements to Americanize the foreign born byforcing them, in the words of one leader, “to give up thelanguages, customs, and methods of life which theyhave brought with them across the ocean, and adoptinstead the language, habits, and customs of this coun-try, and the general standards and ways of American liv-ing.” Similar thinking motivated Congress at varioustimes to bar the immigration of Africans, Asians, andother ethnic groups and people of color into the coun-try, and to force assimilation on American Indians bydenying them the freedom to practice their religion oreven to speak their own language. Such calls for restric-tive unity still resound in our own day.
But other Americans have argued for a more ful-some version of Americanization. “What is theAmerican, this new man?” asked the French immigrant
