Until recently, with one historical exception, America was able to
take for granted a coherent national culture and identity. Successive
waves of immigrants entered a country that assumed that their ultimate
assimilation was a desirable, not an oppressive, outcome. The United
States did not prove equally hospitable to everyone: some groups
endured enormous hardships on their way to a fuller realization of
America's great promise of opportunity and freedom. Yet,
throughout U.S. history, the dream of common purpose and community
propelled the collective desire to live up to this promise and provided
the framework within which progress was understood and
made.
