Excellent 🧵 by @kevinkenny.bsky.social on "a nation of immigrants." 🗃️ @iehs.bsky.social
🗃️ The US attracted more foreign-born people from more places than any other nation in history. We need language to acknowledge that central fact of American history. But we also need language that goes beyond the idea that the United States is, or ever was, simply a “nation of immigrants.” 🧵1/10
