What is the American Dream?

The American dream is the dream of a better life, mostly for farmers.The farmers wanted better lives for themselves and their families. They want to be their own bosses so that they are not treated badly because they are poor. They want to own their own land and house. Their dream is not to be wealthy and have motors it was personal success and their own property. The american dream was also the reason that so many people moved to California (the golden state) because it was said that you could have great success there.
