Perspective on...Letters From An American Farmer

Letters From An American Farmer is observations by J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur on the new formation of the American society. Throughout various letters, he compares the American and British societies. For example in Letter IX (Letter 9), J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur describes his views on slavery and gives a very detailed description on Charles-Town. His views on slavery and it's place in American society at that time is very different for people who lived in the South at that time. I respect and agree his view and believe even though the South's economy depended on slavery it's not the right course of action.

  1. You have two entries. At least three should be here from Emerson alone. You need to catch up to get credit for this part of the course.
