Freedom
The journey began with establishing a new governance structure. It emphasized creating laws devoid of inherited class restrictions.
Aspiration
The term “American dream” was not defined until 1931. Historian James Truslow Adams articulated the dream in “The Epic of America” as a land of opportunity. Here, life should become better, richer, and fuller, where personal achievement is rewarded. Over time, this idea symbolized material success and visible consumption.
Stability
For others, the dream centered on security and belonging. This vision included owning a suburban house, maintaining a stable job, and ensuring prosperity for future generations.
