As we know, unlike most other countries in the world, America is primarily a nation of immigrants. The ancestors of Americans emigrated from many parts of the globe. The formation of American culture has close relation with these immigrants. These immigrants took their own culture to the rich North America. The mixed culture and the life of American form a unique American immigration culture. Early immigration culture laid a solid foundation for the formation and development of the main stream of American culture.
