The statue shows how passionate americans are for their country and their willingness to accept new immigrants with open arms. But America is not the only country for freedom, but most of the present day world is for freedom. The Statue of Liberty is a “universal sign for freedom” (Source B) People all over the world want to be free and do whatever they please, this is what the Statue of Liberty stands for. And this statue has been encouraging people to do what they love, and be free since “1886, when the Statue started welcoming immigrants” (Source A) into

The Statue of Liberty represents freedom. Immigrants coming from different countries breath a sigh of relief as they see the golden torch and the rusted copper lady holding her tablet with “July IV MDCCLXXVI” printed on it. Many think of a new beginning, while others think of the challenges that are yet to come. A new beginning isn’t always easy, if problems are involved.

Carrie Chapman Catt uses a lot of ideas about democracy in her speech that was logical. Catt uses logic to appeal to her audience from the first reason of women suffrage inevitability to the end of the speech. Catt uses the Declaration of independence, which turn out to be the basic rule of government (Catt, 1917). This is because it states that all men (women) are created equal and Catt used that along with the quote from Woodrow Wilson that states “we are fighting for the things which we have always carried nearest to our hearts: for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government” (Catt, 1917). The logic in Wilson’s quote as it relates to women’s suffrage is if democracy is the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government than why do women not allow to vote because they too submit to authority as men do.

Turner’s statement ‘since the days when the fleet of Columbus sailed into the waters of the New World, America has been another name for opportunity’(3) advances the view that America became a democratic land open to all as stipulated by the American constitution. It brought about the term ‘American dream’. The American dream was aimed at making America a free and equal society.

The three main character traits I think apply to America are equality, sacrifice, and freedom, and I will be explaining why I think these are, in the following paragraphs. The first main idea I will be talking about is equality. In America, we are given multiple opportunities here to express ourselves in ways people in other countries will never be able to. Countries in the Middle East, for example, treat women as if they were animals.

“The New Colossus” is written by Emma Lazarus, reflects the American Dream by creating a name for the Statue of Liberty a name that shows who she really is and what she 's willing to do, such as Mother of Exiles. When she said “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” The Statue of Liberty is basically saying i accept all people, so if you don’t accept them there send them here.

The Statue Of Liberty is the first thing to greet the European immigrates as they arrive in America. Ever since October 1886, she has been a Beacon of Freedom. The Statue is known as ‘The Immigrant 's Statue’ or the ‘Mother of Exiles’. Not only has she welcomed them, she has inspired.

In the beginning, Thatcher was sincere and used her personal experiences to show he had a “grace of a deeper kind” (23). By being sincere, Thatcher built her effectiveness and her ability to sympathetic. By the end of the speech, her tone switched to optimistic. While the rest of her speech was emotional and sincere, the last paragraph shows the hope for the future of the country, even through they have lost an exceptional former president. In the last sentence of the speech, Thatcher states that American stands for “freedom and opportunity for ordinary people” (98).

The Promise of America is about liberty. The Statue of Liberty has been a welcoming figure to millions of immigrants who came to America. It was built as a recognizable symbol of democracy and freedom. Leaving their native land to join America with hope, they found freedom in the New World.

When I hear the term “New England,” I automatically picture a beautiful land that was filled with natives and Europeans who worked together. I picture Europeans who supported each other.

Prior to reading the textbook, I knew that the colony in Massachusetts was home to the first Puritans.

The 14th Amendment was important because if played the most major factor on our society it gave each individual equality. The 14th Amendment allowed us to take this to the future and our children’s future and will forever and always live in this society even after we are long gone. To come to my conclusion I will recap some of my final thoughts about the above. First I do agree with some of the things that President Lincoln did I also love the fact he issues the Emancipation Proclamation. I do agree that a start needed to be made in reference to our slave’s freedom.
