The concept of the American Dream was not created by a single individual, but it emerged as a collective ideal associated with the values and aspirations of the United States. The American Dream has deep roots in the nation's history and is influenced by various factors, including the principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence, the ideals of the Founding Fathers, and the experiences of immigrants who came to America seeking a better life.

The phrase "American Dream" was popularized in the 20th century, particularly during the post-World War II era. It became a prominent theme in American literature, speeches, and political discourse, shaping the national narrative and defining the vision of success and opportunity in the country.

Scholars and writers such as James Truslow Adams, who coined the term "American Dream" in his 1931 book "The Epic of America," played a role in shaping the concept and articulating its meaning. Adams described the American Dream as "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement."

Over time, the American Dream has evolved and been interpreted in different ways by individuals and communities. It continues to be influenced by cultural, economic, and social factors, as well as ongoing conversations and debates surrounding equality, social justice, and the meaning of success in American society.

Ultimately, the American Dream is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been shaped by the collective experiences, values, and aspirations of the American people throughout history.
