"Estados Unidos" by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work serves as a personal reflection on his impressions and observations during his travels across the United States, delving into the complexities of American society, politics, and culture. Sarmiento's narrative juxtaposes his ideals of democracy and education against the realities he encounters, making it a critical examination of both American and Latin American identities. The opening of "Estados Unidos" sets the stage for Sarmiento's exploration by providing insights into his emotional state upon leaving the U.S., filled with conflicting feelings of admiration, disillusionment, and contemplation. He describes the United States as a unique creation, neither entirely admirable nor completely flawed, emphasizing the need for a new perspective to appreciate its complex nature. Sarmiento contrasts his previous expectations of a pure republic with the nuanced realities of American life, hinting at deeper societal issues while pondering the possibilities of democracy. His reflections suggest an inward journey as much as an outward one, inviting readers to consider what it means to build a society based on democratic principles.
