American Way of LifeThroughout their history, Americans have been people on the move.The early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World.Once they arrived, they settled along the East Coast.But they weren't content to stay there. 1 Later, settlers moved west to develop these new areas.As a result of this westward migration, Americans eventually occupied the whole continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific.Even today, Americans seem unable to stay in one place.Research says that the average American moves every five years.
