 Some of you may have heard of this gentleman before. He's actually a Frenchman who came to the United States in the early 1830s. And he came over here to find out what was making America work. Why was America prospering? All of the major inventions at the time were coming from the great country of America, when the rest of the countries of the world had been established for such a long time. He lived here for three years, and then he went back to France and he wrote a book called Democracy in America.
