Who is Alexis de Tocqueville?
Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat, toured the United States applauding the voluntary spirit of American society. His observations formed the 1835 work “Democracy in America”, a detailed study of American society, culture and politics. Perhaps his most important observation was that Americans helped one another in times of need.

“I must say that I have seen Americans make great and real sacrifices to the public welfare; and I have noticed a hundred instances in which they hardly ever failed to lend faithful support to one another.”
