Reviews
Only wished they went into moredetail about the different groups
The One Nerd
The Jews and African Americans did much to benefit America also Japanese and Chinese people did a lot for the nation. The Jews especially did a lot for the US and humanity in general the fact that African Americans did so much despite everything is amazing, Paul River was a French Huguenot and the first casually the American War for Independence was Black. Corporal punishment was abolished in the American Navy by a Jew and a Jew was present at Washington's inauguration. Armenians did a lot and Welsh and Scottish and Irish people did their fair share in making America great. The fact that Jewish, Black and Asian people are so common among the great Americans of history is touching. The United States was build by Immigrants.
