Answer:
The blacksmith embodies many core American values and is the backbone of a typical American community.
Explanation:
The poem "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes a blacksmith who had to juggle his time between his family and his work. But he seems to have a successful way of managing all his priorities.
The poem is an image of a blacksmith who represents "everyman", a perfect role model for the people to get inspired from. He epitomizes the image of an individual who has a managing ability to keep all his priorities in order, be it to his family, his work or even the community. This image of 'the blacksmith" came to be a representation of all the core values that embody the American society.
