It's been here
The American has been here. In fact, it is instilled within each and every American citizen. Throughout history, the parts of this dream have been at the forefront of society, but never together. The experimentation factor was most prominent during the Modern Era. Individualism was a pervasive ideal during the Transcendentalist time period. Figuration of language and other aspects of expression was a ubiquitous idea during the Native American era. All of these eras died, but their marks on the American dream hold firm today.
