One united people
In Federalist 2, John Jay famously wrote:
... Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people—a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion ... very similar in their manners and customs...
This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties."
- John Jay, October 31, 1787

With all our new diversity, whatever became of our unity?
