Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country."
America is an improbable idea. A mongrel nation built of ever-changing disparate parts, it is held together by a notion, the notion that all men are created equal, though everyone knows that most men consider themselves better than someone. "Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody's image," the historian Daniel Boorstin wrote. That's because it was built of bits and pieces that seem discordant, like the crazy quilts that have been one of its great folk-art forms, velvet and calico and checks and brocades. Out of many, one. That is the ideal.

Answer:
America is an impossible idea. The Mongrel race, made up of ever-changing and ever-changing elements, is united by the idea that all human beings are created equal, even though everyone knows that most men consider themselves superior to one another. “In every nation on earth, the United States is shaped by the image of every human being,” writes historian Daniel Boorstin. That’s because it’s made up of pieces and pieces that seem contradictory, like crazy quilts being one of their best forms of traditional art, velvet and calico and checks and brocade. For many, one. That's good.
