Puritan Influence On American Culture

It can also be explained in regards to the earlier mentioned Puritan tradition. The great expectations that both Europeans and Americans initially had for the New World are integrated in the latter-day Americans and give them the notion that they are a special people with a peculiar and promising country. These long inherited notions have made Americans impatient with troubling issues, have convinced them that true love can be found just around the corner and that any human relationship can be corrected of its flaws. The idea of a New World in which people could find a clean slate, a second chance, is also found in the latter-day American notion of love as they choose to divorce and start a new marriage when a relationship turns out to be flawed.
