The Great American Melting Pot

The history of everyone coming to America in the 1800s and 1900s, pouring past the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor through Ellis Island!



My grandmother came from Russia
A satchel on her knee,
My grandfather had his father's cap
He brought from Italy.
They'd heard about a country
Where life might let them win,
They paid the fare to America
And there they melted in.

Lovely Lady Liberty
With her book of recipes
And the finest one she's got
Is the great American melting pot.
The great American melting pot.

America was founded by the English,
But also by the Germans, Dutch, and French.
The principle still sticks;
Our heritage is mixed.
So any kid could be the president.

You simply melt right in,
It doesn't matter what your skin.
It doesn't matter where you're from,
Or your religion, you jump right in
To the great American melting pot.
The great American melting pot.
Ooh, what a stew, red, white, and blue.

America was the New World
And Europe was the Old.
America was the land of hope,
Or so the legend told.
On steamboats by the millions,
In search of honest pay,
Those 19th-century immigrants sailed
To reach the U.S.A.

Lovely Lady Liberty
With her book of recipes
And the finest one she's got
Is the great American melting pot
The great American melting pot.
What good ingredients,
Liberty and immigrants.

They brought the country's customs,
Their language and their ways.
They filled the factories, tilled the soil,
Helped build the U.S.A.
Go on and ask your grandma,
Hear what she has to tell
How great to be an American
And something else as well.

Lovely Lady Liberty
With her book of recipes
And the finest one she's got
Is the great American melting pot
The great American melting pot.

The great American melting pot.
The great American melting pot.

HOW IS 'THE MELTING POT' DIFFERENT FROM 'THE SALAD BOWL' CONCEPT?




The Multi-Cultural History of the United States




Racially Divided States of America

For several decades now, an unprecedented attack on white culture has been occurring, changing America's civilization to something that has differed markedly from what was envisioned by its Founding Fathers.
But what, exactly, did America's Forefathers believe, and how does America's multicultural experiment differ from America's founding principles?
In this video, you will go on a politically incorrect journey through time, learning the whole truth of what America's former leaders believed. From George Washington to Abraham Lincoln to Harry Truman, you will discover the lessons we have been taught in today's history books are far from the truth.
More importantly, you will see what occurred to other civilizations in more recent times that embraced the multicultural experiment that is being praised throughout the land, and how it ultimately caused the end of civilization as we know it in other countries.
