Who were the Americans?

Immigration made the USA a very mixed society. By 1920 there were 105 different nationalities living there. The motto on the Great Seal of the USA is E pluribus unum which means; 'From the many:one.' The idea was that America was like a melting pot, where immigrants lost their old identity and became Americans.
