American Freedom Speeches

One of the most important and well-known facts about America is freedom. We are granted the freedom or choice in our

Freedom is defined as the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement. It is the power to determine action without restraint and the exemption from external control, interference, and regulation. Americans, these days, commonly regard their society as the freest and the best in the world. Their understanding of freedom has been shaped and based upon the founding fathers’ belief that all people are equal and that the role of the government is to protect each person’s basic “inalienable” rights. The United States Constitution’s Bill of Rights assures individual rights including freedom of speech, press, and religion. America has changed dramatically from the country our founding fathers discovered. Some could even argue that

Without these freedoms America wouldn't have the same civilization as we do now. Plus without these freedoms we wouldn't know what everyone thinks it would just be one person, that is why freedoms are important to me. Being an american is very fun as well and is still developing. Just think at all the technology we have made and we are still making more, all the cool the things we have figured about the world and the US. Just thinking about it makes me gasp. We half to give a lot of credit to our veterans because without them who would fight for our rights. Without the military America wouldn't be where we are today and we wouldn't have the same technology or even half the things we have now. That is why every year around veterans I ask what being an american means to me. Being an american is one of the most important things to me because if I wasn't an american I wouldn't have the same rights I do now. To me being american means to be free, to be safe, and to have freedom. So what does being an american mean to

There are many ways to describe what freedom is; in fact Webster’s dictionary offers nine different explanations of what the word means. “A right or the power to engage in certain actions without control or interference,” is one of the most ubiquitous definitions. There are many ways to describe freedom and American history has portrayed it in very contradictory manners. In the late 1700’s, it was very obvious that America’s forefathers sought freedom as they based their revolution on the principal of emancipation but it was only a short while later that the freedoms of others within the country were being inhibited by slavery. Slavery inhibits civil liberties and in a land of equal

I would like to begin by asking the same question James A. Garfield had asked in 1865, “What is freedom”, is it a bare privilege of not being

People always state that living in America is a privilege, that we are all free and capable of doing anything you set your mind to. To me, being “free” in America doesn’t mean that you are actually free. Being free means that we are not told or controlled by the power of another. I always felt that I wasn’t free to do anything I wanted to do, which takes me to where I am today. I never took being in America seriously and took advantage of it. In the last five years of my life, I learned that being in America is a great honor. I also have learned to take advantage of the opportunities presented to me. It all started from my parents, then going to Vietnam, and now where I am today, college. It showed me that I should be grateful for where I am now.

It is a great honor to be a citizen of the United States of America. This is due to the fact that in this country, people are blessed with many freedoms that other places do not have. Some of these freedoms include freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to vote. People should be very appreciative that God has provided a place where freedom prevails.

Although it may appear basic, stereotypical, or over used, freedom is essential to being an American. All aspects of America build upon this foundational idea. Think back to America’s humble beginnings. The first Americans built a country from nothing, fueled by strong work ethic and a hunger for freedom. Revolutionary leaders like George Washington and Alexander Hamilton stood for an entity greater than themselves.

A lot of people take for granted how many amazing opportunities they have in America. They are told to go to church, or go to school, even if they may not want to. However, those are privileges and rights that Americans are fortunate to have that many overlook. The freedom that Americans have, plays a huge part in what America is known for. We are given the freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the freedom to own land.

Americans often take freedom for granted. In this country, we have the freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of the press, just to name a few. In some

I am pretty sure that it was Benjamin Franklin who proclaimed: In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. However, while most people know April 15 as the deadline for submitting personal tax returns, this is not always the case For example, I will always remember it as my Grandmother’s birthday! And in Washington, DC they celebrate Emancipation Day, a legal holiday marking the day (April 16, 1862) that the Compensated Emancipation Act was signed by President Abraham Lincoln and all the slaves in the District of Columbia were freed! Since 2005, this day has been officially celebrated by DC public employees taking the day off; but, because April 16 falls on a Saturday this year, it is celebrated on the closest

Freedom, and our strengths is the manner of life and it’s important to have belief in something and want to fight for it. it keeps our country fighting. Honestly the manner of life would be our people, or community, and our home. I decided this because if we love where we are and if we are happy with the people who surround us then we will fight harder to keep that and not ever left it

Freedom has a large range of meaning. The encyclopedia Britannica defines freedom as “the quality or state of being free, and the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action” (Britannica). In the American society there is a lot of emphasis on freedom, and the right to be free, but one must question to what extent we are truly “free”.

Freedom Summer was a very intense and dramatic change for the state of Mississippi and nation of the United States of America. During this time in an American history the United States was going through drastic changes within society between whites and blacks because blacks just received complete and equal rights, especially the right to vote, which upset a lot of people in the South. People in the South felt like blacks did not deserve or have the intellectual ability to vote or that blacks deserved to be equal to white Americans.

In this country we have freedom unlike other country. There’s a lot we can do in this country because of the people who fight for us. Also some other countries have beliefs that the people believe in. So Some beliefs actual believe in treating people worse than other people. They have different things they say they have to follow. Also we have Freedom Of Speech unlike the other countries. There’s a lot of people now that will give their lives to fight to keep our freedom. That’s what you call bravery to me, to keep fighting for us. “ The secret of happiness is freedom the secret of freedom is courage”. I think this saying is the meaning most people aren’t scared of fighting after a while. “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others”.
