History

J. Hector St. John de Crvecur writes in his essay “What, Then, Is the American?” (Voices 1, 140) that the American is a “new man” who, “leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced.” Pick another Voices reading from week three. Do Thomas Jefferson, Judith Murray, or Tecumseh think that the prejudice they identify is new? Or, do you think that the prejudice that they identify is new? Pick one of these questions for your essay. Cite from the relevant chapters in Give Me Liberty to support your argument.
