The Founding Fathers, contrary to remarks of this being a nation of immigrants, generally were against immigration altogether. In truth, the Fathers knew full well the implications of race and ethnicity. Shortly after Thomas Jefferson had penned ‘All Men are Created Equal’, he made his own observations that ‘the inferiority of coloured races is not merely the effect of life conditions', he acknowledged an inherent mental and physical disparity.

This is perfectly consistent with American views. Men were afforded ten bedrock rights, over which the government cannot step, which never implies characteristic equality. Classical Liberalism as they knew it was inseparable from Racial Realism. John Stuart Mill understood that ‘Free institutions are practically impossible in a country of different nationalities’, meaning even intraracial mingling was too diverse.

If the slave-owning did not make this obvious, the notion of Liberty was philosophically exclusive to those who can comprehend and function with it, hence the nation was for free White men only. John Adams rightly did not believe in ‘Democracy’, America never was one. There would always be a natural aristocracy of sorts, but a democratic tendency amongst fellow Westerners.

The concept of an ‘American Dream’ for immigrants was itself conceived by immigrants, mainly appealing to the Irish, Italian, et cetera. at the time. ‘Melting Pot’, popularized by Israel Zangwill, and ‘Nation of Immigrants’ by our first Irish Catholic president.

It is foolish to believe America was devoid of racial thought or a community mind. The Puritans placed their blood covenant as the highest ordeal and leaned more and more into a Darwinist mentality, which could have made a wholly eugenic state. Southern Culture took pride in its hospitality, its family bond above all else.

American individualism thrived with such conscientiousness, spreading far and famously. The nation was intended for one people, “drawn together by religion, blood, language, manners, and customs”, in which case, as Benjamin Franklin had wished, the core and common American would be a thoroughbred middle-class Englishman.
