from northern and western Europe including Great Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. But "new" immigrants from southern and eastern Europe were becoming one of the most important forces in American life.
Answer:
As it always has, the USA has some difficulties with some of the aspirations (and they are more aspirations than principles) expressed in the Declaration of Independence, and it has some success with some others. The trend, as President Obama described, is generally toward progress, but isn’t smooth and regular. One ought to remember that the Declaration is not a set of laws, it is not a Constitution, it is not really expressing a set of principles. The first paragraph expresses a philosophy which is mainstream 18th century Enlightenment, and famously states that “all men are created equal”, a phrase put there by slave-owners who did not acknowledge that their black slaves were fully “men”, and did not extend that alleged equality to their wives and daughters. Since 1776 the USA freed its slaves, after a brutal Civil War, and it enfranchised its women (after a long and difficult campaign). Objectively US society is closer to the ideals of that first paragraph than it was in the 1790s. It still has a ways to go; but the fact that the USA has an expressed intent to strive toward those ideals is more than one sees in most nations.
