Secondly, she didn’t like assurance of Americans. First of all, she was too devoted to England to do that. It was as clear as a day that the author would never consider the United States the best country in the world. If the citizens of the United States were indeed the devoted patriots they call themselves, they would surely not thus entrust themselves in the hard, dry, stubborn persuasion, that they are the first and the best of the human race.

At the end of the report, she admits that when she travelled to America, she was fighting with her husband, and they were struggling for money, so she wasn't really able to feel happy in America, but she feels that her opinion would not really have changed even if her personal life were better she genuinely detests American fashions.
