Should The United States Become True Equality?

American Dream Does the American Still hold the American dream? I believe that it is very possible for a citizen of America to live that tradition American Dream; paying bills without worries, giving their children a start to an even better life then they had and still save enough to live comfortably after they retire to live that happy free life. In reading "Let America Be America Again," it sites in line four of the poem "seeking a home where he himself is free." That represented the people's freedom and with the Declaration of Independence that will protect our freedoms and rights .

Many different groups in the United States have fought for their equal rights through civil rights battles. Each one inspiring the next, slowly transforming America into the country it is today. Some of these battles have come a long way, since the beginning of history for a lot, some of which are still in the mist of being fought, some of which made huge improvements yet still haven’t reached full equality. Through the many steps taken in marches, and blood and tears shed though the riots, all these battles though has change the way Americans see one another and their country. Going for the common goal of equality, these civil rights movements have changed America for the greater good.

The future of America is in the hands of this generation that is witnessing our once great nation disintegrate into chaos. The United States of America is supposed to be a place of freedom and peace, but now it is viewed as a country that is crumbling under the unhappiness of its own citizens. We should be viewed as a country with hope to lead the helpless out of misfortune. Abraham Lincoln once said, “My dream is of a place and time when America will once again be seen as the last best hope on earth.” The America that I envision will be seen as that last standing

A revolution of British colonies led to one of the most powerful countries in the world today. The Declaration of Independence led to the founding of a nation. The Declaration was a product of injustice, money struggles, and the freedom to bear arms. America was founded on the struggle to be free from an oppressive society. America’s Independence from Britain resulted from a moral obligation to form a society where people can be free and treated fairly.

Sarah Lewis 10/26/15 Mr. Bishop HIS 131-05IN It Takes Many Men to Make a Country Joseph J. Ellis reveals just how much each person’s decisions affect the history of America in Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation. It is a good representation of America’s past emphasizing the various people involved. It starts slow but improves as the book progresses by including multiple accounts of the same story, many different sources, and facts to verify the different statements. America came to be on July 4, 1776.

Prior to reading this engaging, yet historical-filled book, my personal amount of knowledge on our nation 's history, as well as the founders who created it, lacked. Joseph J. Ellis -philosopher, and winner of a pulitzer prize- uses his awareness and understanding of American history to provide readers with a ‘modern insight’, enabling us to paint a picture in our minds what really occurred during the beginning years of our nation. While reading this book, it directs your attention to six key events. Within each of these events, Ellis describes the people involved in these particular affairs (the founding fathers), their lives, and also the relationships these men shared.

On the eve of a modern era, July 4, 1776, a select committee of five representatives sat down to document the separation of the American colonies from the despotic reign of the English Monarch, King George. It was on this day that Thomas Jefferson put pen to paper to write “The Declaration of Independence” and courageously declared autonomy from Great Britain and their harsh and unlawful actions which, the colonists, can no longer be content with. Jefferson proclaims the separation of what will later become the United States of America from Imperialistic Britain. Jefferson addresses King George directly to state his intentions as well as the Patriotic Colonists in order to persuade them in favor of the liberation of colonial America and obtaining

Those citizens have the mindset that the American Dream just is not possible in modern society. Is the American Dream Still Possible by David Wallechinsky addresses multiple view points from different Americans who don’t think the dream is accessible any longer. The excerpt states, “ But many average Americans are struggling- squeezed by rising costs, declining wages, credit-card debt and diminished benefits, with little left over to save for retirement” (55). Wallechinsky is correct in his statement that many Americans struggle. Most Americans come across problems that could potentially destroy their American Dream but the ones who succeed are the ones who don’t lose hope.

The American Dream is still alive and available to everyone today, although it is different for everyone. The American Dream is what each individual believes it to be and does not have a set definition, it is whatever the person believes it to be and it still possible for everyone. America still provides access to opportunity for everyone from the people who are born in poverty to the people that are born into wealth. While lately there has been much debate over whether the American Dream is still alive and well and many people believe that it is dead, there are considerable proof and evidence that the American Dream is developing and thriving. First of all, in the American Constitution, it states “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Perhaps the most famous line from the Declaration of Independence, written on July 4, 1776. 1776 by David McCullough is about just that: the year 1776, though it does mention events in previous and following years, in American history. McCullough’s purpose for writing the book is very clear: to educate readers about the details of the American Revolutionary War from the view of both sides in and around 1776. McCullough achieves this through mostly logos, but uses ethos and pathos just as well.

In American history very few years will ever stand out or even leave an imprint in America's history, but there is one year in our past that particularly stands out. That year was 1776 when we gained our independence from England. In the book 1776 David McCullough captures the events of the year 1776 with remarkable clarity and paints a vivid picture that makes his book, 1776, a significant contribution to the study of 18th century America and the American Revolution.

In fact, many believe that it is quite improbable that anyone could experience their own American Dream due to government restrictions that may seem to prohibit their growth. In a survey conducted by ORC International, around 6 in every 10 Americans believe that the American Dream is no longer available to them (Lubhy). Restrictions that make those surveyed feel as though the American Dream is impossible include the worsening economy and the rising costs of college tuitions (Lubhy). To be more specific on the economic concern, many believe that most of the American government’s money goes

It is remarkably easy for people to boil down America’s current situation to that of a second Civil War in-the-making. All you witness in the media today is the polarity and out-right divisiveness of the country. While there is no doubt that political tolerance and political efficacy is at the lowest it has been, simply reducing the circumstances surrounding our current administration and our fellow citizens to that of a country tearing itself apart is not a fair assessment. When you look back at our country’s history, our situation is nothing new. We are living in a time of change and I am confident that once again, our country and its citizens will come out stronger than ever before.

1776 marked a significant year in American history. That was the year in which the U.S. declared its independence from its fathering nation, Britain. Britain did not just give America the freedom, America fought for their freedom. American broke away for numerous reasons. This paper will explain why the colonists broke away and whether or not their reasons for waging war and breaking justified.

Joseph J. Ellis’s account of the post-revolutionary era is a recollection of the eight founding figures of this time period in addition to their achievements, beliefs, and influences. Looking back at history it’s easy to say that the creation of a nation was a clear and direct path. However, one faulty decision could have imposed catastrophic consequences on our nation to be. These “Founding Fathers” are portrayed as confident, intelligent, and balanced individuals; however we must understand that they are only human. After reading this novel, I have a full understanding of the challenges placed before the founding fathers in their attempt to build a country.
