The book explores the diverse tapestry of immigrant experiences and the formation of American identity throughout its history. It delves into the waves of migration that have significantly shaped the nation, highlighting the influences of various ethnic groups and their contributions to American society. The opening of the book sets a broad historical context, discussing migrations prior to American colonization, and then transitions to focus on the English settlements that initiated the demographic transformation of North America. Orth outlines early colonization attempts, the socioeconomic conditions pushing people to migrate, and the distinct and varied backgrounds of settlers—from aristocrats seeking fortune to the disenfranchised searching for a new life. He emphasizes how each group brought unique cultural, economic, and social contributions to the emerging nation, and hints at the complex interplay of these influences, ultimately setting the stage for a deeper exploration of America's diverse populace.
