Bonjour!

My name is Tiffanie and you've stumbled onto my blog about the ethnic history in America. Enchanté.

This is for one of my history classes. As demonstrated by the title of this blog, my entries will be about America's ethnic history. I find it interesting that we have to diffinciate between regular U.S. history and its ethnic history. The United States is a country built by immigrants of different origins and culture so why can't it just be included under the broad term, "U.S." history. The color of someone's skin, their ancestral roots, or the like shouldn't dictate who decides who is American.

I'm very excited to start my blog about everything history! It's a lot more productive than most things I post on Tumblr...although looking at kitties wearing mustaches is pretty funny.

The book we're using: Coming to America: A History to Immigration and Ethnicity in American Life by Roger Daniels

Au revoir!
