    In "The Road Not Taken," written by Lereone Bennett, Bennett wrote about how the strategies the Anglo colonizers used had a negative impact. However, the Anglo Colonizers used the strategies on the poor whites. The attempt to enslave the poor whites was also unsuccessful due to the similar disadvantage to the natives Bennett had mentioned.

The last stanza states, “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”. The ability to take the road less travelled by is what the American Dream offers.
