An American according to the dictionary is a Native or inhabitant of North or Central American or South America country. Trying to figure out who is an America can be hard at times. An America is someone who lives in North America. Anyone that lives in North America is considered an America. No matter where you come from or what's your background or race you're considered American. If you come from a different country such as Central America or any part of the world and come to America you're an American. You may ask yourself why, the reason is because those who emigrate from their countries come to America for better living and they come here to work and thanks to them this country is getting and it's been a richer country. Without those who work hard citizens wouldn't have from where to eat. It's a state that expresses liberty and freedom and anyone can be an American. I come fron a different country and I am considered an American. People migth say that I 'am not one because I wasen't born here but that don't matter because you don't have to be born here to be an American. I came from Central America and since I come from there, I'm considered an American even the word Cental "America" is included in the continent from where I come from.
During the mid-1700, many people left Europe for a better life in North America. Some of them came to escape crowded cities, to own their own land, and to have a better living. Other came in search of religious freedom due to the fact that in their country there wasn't as much freedom as in North America. They thougth that the new life they would conquer would have less goverment interference and would have the chance to have a greater voice in goverment. This means that they came to America for a better future and even though they come from other place their still Americans.
However, An American Citizens is way different from an American. The difference is that an American Citizen is a person who is born in the United States. An American Citizen has the privilege to travel outside the United States and they can work legally in this country without worrying about getting deported or getting arrested just because you don't have papers. An American is a person who only lives in the United State but doesn't have the same privilege as an American Citizen. It is very hard and difficult to become an American Citizen. The reason is because you need to pass through a long process and will take years so you can become permanently an American Citizen.
Most people think that Americans are those who were born here but in reality the real Americans are those who leave here but it dosen't matter because America is a free country and the Declaration of independence states it. Since it states it's a free country thren i guess we have the rigth to call ourselves Americans.
