The expression is often linked to immigrants who have come to this county seeking more freedom or a better life than they could have in their own countries. ; Some people would say that the United States Declaration of Independence first defined the American dream.

The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal, and that they have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ; 92.
