Crevecoeur comes across as a self-content American of European-descent in "<em>Letters from an American Farmer "</em>.
He describes Colonial America as a "<em>a new continent; a modern society ", "united by the silken bands of mild government</em> " where eveyone abides by the law <em>" without dreading their power, because they -Americans- are equitable".</em> To his mind, America is a place where <em>"the rich and the poor are not so far removed from each other as they are in Europe" </em><em><u>(Letter III)</u></em>
In contrast, Europe seems to him a land "<em>of great lords who possess everything, and of a herd of people who have nothing</em>" where its citizens "<em>withered, and were mowed down by want, hunger, and war</em>" as well as exposed to "<em>nothing but the frowns of the rich, the severity of the laws, with jails and punishments"</em> <em><u>(Letter III)</u></em>.
He lightheartedly embraces the nickname <em>"farmer of feelings"</em> his admired English correspondant gives him <u><em>(letter II) </em></u>as he explains with emotional rhethoric how it feels living in America; a place where <em>"individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labours and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world"</em> <u><em>(letter III)</em></u>
