Nation of immigrants

I think that being a "Nation of Immigrants" is what makes America he country that it is today. Having all of the different kinds of people, and all of their cultures produces a very diverse nation. I think that having a nation of immigrants makes us, as a whole, more open to different cultures and different religions. Having this open minded attitude towards different cultures helped to lure in new immigrants because America seemed like a nation that would not discriminate against other ethnic groups.
I think that above all else, an immigrant had to have great amounts of bravery in order to make the trip to America. An immigrant had to leave their homeland behind and most times they even left their family behind in order to find a better life for them and their families. When it comes to my ancestors, i do not really fell a great connection with them because of the fact that I am a novice when it comes to information about them. I feel like if I were to know more facts about my ancestors as well as details of my family tree, I would feel a stronger connection with my ancestors and where they came from.
