Reject that America is a place for zero-sum thinking. Because it is not,\u201d Mr. Vance said. \u201cOur history is one of people carving a great civilization out of the wilderness. Reject the view of your nation that sees only its sins, but not its grace and its greatness. Everything that we have done, everything that we have done as a country, we have done together. Not as citizens divided against each other, but as a common people working towards a common future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The vice president said \u201call of us\u201d had a role to play in \u201ccreating 250 years of a proud American story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd all of us will need to do our part to create the next 250 years of American greatness.
