He conveys that he has a strong favor of America over the egregious Europeans through America’s well-founded laws, their wide-ranging opportunity, and their countless ethnic diversities. The author narrates a deep sense of Europeans as he writes of the poor conditions in their country. He notes that Europeans have no food event with work, fields capable of no harvest, and few rich but many poor. In Europe there are harsh laws and sentences and the average man owns little land. All a wretched man in Europe is to do is wander about with nothing but desolate scenes before him. The writer goes so far as to compare Europeans to useless plants withering because of war, hunger, and want. He tells that these plants’ single hope to flourish is through transplantation—the life of America.
