The American Dream is a foundational concept in U.S. history, embodying ideals of equality, opportunity, and prosperity. This summary explores its origins, evolution, and impact on American society.

The history of the United States as a nation begins with Columbus' discovery of America in 1492, despite the prior existence of Native American cultures. European colonists, primarily from England, began arriving after 1600, establishing 13 British colonies on the northeastern seaboard by the 1770s.
Highlight: The main cause of the rift with Britain was colonists' dissatisfaction with their lack of control over their lives, as all major decisions were made in London.
The Revolutionary War (1775-1783) led to the drafting of the Declaration of Independence by the Founding Fathers. This document, written by Thomas Jefferson and announced on July 4, 1776, became a guideline for the Constitution of 1787.
Definition: The American Dream refers to the beliefs and ideals that allow every American the freedom to prosper and advance socially and financially through hard work.
The Constitution established three branches of government:
These branches share power in a system of checks and balances, ensuring no single entity becomes too powerful.
Example: The Bill of Rights (1791) was added to the Constitution to ensure civil rights, including freedom of speech, press, and the right to assemble in public.
The concept of the American Dream has evolved since the colonial era. In the 18th century, colonists dreamed of:
Quote: James Truslow Adams defined the American Dream in 1931 as "a dream of a social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."
This definition emphasizes equality and a classless society, presenting a social and idealistic view of the dream. It contrasts with the more materialistic interpretation that emerged later.
Vocabulary: "From rags to riches" is a phrase often associated with the materialistic aspect of the American Dream, suggesting that hard work, perseverance, and diligence can lead to success and prosperity.
The American Dream has come to encompass both materialistic and idealistic visions:
Highlight: The American Dream is a complex concept that varies in interpretation, ranging from the dream of fame and fortune to the dream of a fulfilled life or simply a life without state interference.
