Continuing our discussion of the American identity, Tim Keefe and I now discuss Ellis Island Americans from 1890-1960. This is where the “we’re a nation of immigrants” narrative originates. We also discuss how the mindset and values of this identity differs from pioneer/settler Americans from previous eras.
