Which reading gives a strong view or example of a positive American quality?

Considering everything we read in class this semester, which reading, in your opinion, is most inspirationally American? That is, which reading gives a strong view or example of a positive American quality? It is easy to pick examples of America’s negative qualities: slavery, the awful treatment of Native peoples, religious intolerance, etc. But what have we read that offers the most positive view of America? Your essay should be 500-700 words long (2-3 pages).There are obviously no wrong answers to this question, just stronger or weaker arguments. Remember to give REASONS for your opinion beyond what you liked or didn’t like. Use MLA style.
