Benjamin Franklin and others?
Define "American," please. Between 1510 and the 1580's, we know little of the famous Native Americans that occupied what is now the USA. A few make it into European records, such as Wanchese and Manteo. Virginia Dare was the first child of English parents born in what is now the United States, but she and her family would have considered themselves to be English. After 1607, we encounter Powhatan and his daughter, Pocahontas, and of course after 1620 you can add such other famous natives as Squanto and Metacom or Metacomet (also known as King Philip, as in King Philip's War). I suppose, technically, there were, apart from the natives, no "Americans" as we have use of the term until after the American Revolution. Even then, most of the adults had been born subjects of His Britannic Majesty--and even if someone was born after July of 1776, I imagine it could be a moot point still. So, I guess we could say that "Americans" as in citizens of the United States would apply to anyone born after 1781. Choose from the following list, which is by no means exhaustive: Martin Van Buren Mark Twain Robert E. Lee Louisa May Alcott Edgar Allan Poe Hannah Whitall Smith Mary Baker Eddy Ulysses S. Grant Abraham Lincoln Harriet Tubman Sojourner Truth Frederick Douglass Narcissa Whitman Jessie Benton Fremont Those are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head. You should be able to pull any or all of them up on the web by just typing their names into the search box. Happy hunting!

I feel very sad and like crying for no reason, why can that be? I need an advice from someone, please.
I can understand your condition. Because few of the things happened with me. I was totally depressed and was suffering from severe panic attack. I was a bit different from you that I had many friends but none was loyal with me and the worst thing was I used to believe everyone at once and when they ditched me I just felt shattered. The thing I lost in my Life was TRUST. I was good in everything but you know PEOPLE they can't see anyone being the best, so they just defamed me this much that I couldn't walk out in front of others. They used bad words for me. They tried to finish my confidence and you know what? they won. All happened what they actually wanted. I was finished. I lost my life I was on tablets. I started problem in breathing. And then I started fear of death. No one can understand what was i going through. But.......... Then once again something happened in my life again, that a friend came in my life and ditched me so badly. It was the last time that it happened.i then realized that who is the enemy? N u know wat your and mine enemies Are same, that's our mind. Ya its our mind which make us like this. I just changed my mind and the world has changed for me. U just change your thinking your life will get changed. Just try it..... Once, twice or thrice just keep thinking positively. Just let everyone go to hell. Just b ur own friend. Read books, start writing diary and burn it, listen to the music. I just did it same. N now m a happy n healthy women. M 28. a mother of two kids. N enjoying my life. N a good counselor Alsop's \U0001f60a
