I Am an American background

I Am an American

In 19th century Ohio, a Polish couple achieves prosperity and builds a family, only to have their lives upended by the devastating effects of war, including the loss of a limb and loved ones in the Civil War and subsequent conflicts.

A Polish couple's journey to America in the 1840s takes them from New York to Ohio, where they build a life and raise a family. Tragedy strikes as the husband loses an arm in the Civil War, and subsequent wars claim the lives of their sons, a sacrifice made by families from diverse ethnic backgrounds who prioritize patriotism.
