“Melting Pot,” phrase commonly used to signify the mixture and assimilation of different races that have immigrated to the U.S. An early suggestion of the phrase occurs in Crèvecoeur's essay, “What Is an American?” It is used as the title of a play by Israel Zangwill, the 19th‐century English author.
