2. America is a united country despite its cultural differences.

Just like a quilt, America is a result of dissimilar parts all patched together. All kinds of people, having to live in such close proximity, end up addressing one another with prejudice and even hatred. However, in spite of these differences and unlike other countries, America remains united. In the excerpt, the author mentions different groups and how they are frequently "on the verge of fisticuffs". Still, they are "impossibly interwoven". Therefore, the cultural differences may make things a bit more difficult, but they do not break this nation apart.
The arrival of Spanish settlers had a great impact on the natives of the borderlands. The Pueblo people learned from the Spanish how to use new tools, grow new food, and raise sheep for wool. In turn, the Indians introduced the Spanish to new techniques for growing crops in the desert soil.Some Native Americans even <span>converted to the Catholic faith.</span>

Hope this helps!
