He discusses his initial expectations of American society, emphasizing the middle class's prominence and the absence of traditional aristocracy and a significant lower class. Arnold critiques his preconceived notions based on earlier readings and generations of thought, particularly relating to democracy and political structures, expressing a newfound respect for American institutions as he navigates his complex feelings about class, governance, and societal identity.
