Give Me Liberty Thesis

The Native Americans lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida, they inherited all of these lands from their ancestors who cultivated for generations. According to Elias Boudinot the natives considered themselves to be just as equal as the Whites, he states, “What is an Indian? Is he not formed of the same materials with yourself?” (Boudinot, 1826) The natives saw themselves to be no different from the Whites, in fact they cared for one another as a whole, they lived in kinships, where there was never an Indian left alone without a family. They followed a society based off of the concept of interdependence, they had in their mind that everything is dependent of something. The Indians were very advanced, and were able to prosper in their society, although the Whites believed otherwise, and believed that the natives were uncivilized.

In 1491, the Americas was an entire different land before the arrival of Columbus in 1492. Vast colonies of natives lived all over the Americas. These early people created vast civilizations based on what was available to them. At this time, corn was the main crop. Corn was the bases for many civilizations as they were able to grow corn to sustain the needs of each civilization. Other regions like in South America, grew other crops that helped them flourish like potatoes. Fish was available to many but it was not a requirement because at this time they could live without this food source. Prior to the arrival of Columbus, the land was untamed and natural. Civilizations lived off crops that they could farm and hunt the wild game native to their

Native Americans felt a right to the land due to the belief that it was their ancestors and in turn it should continue to be theirs. Compared to the European view that was personified through the Americans not only while concurring the west but to establish the first settlements.

October 12, 1492 is the day Christopher Columbus discovered America with his boats Niña, Pinta, and Sanata María from Spain through the blue ocean. For long days and nights, he sailed across the sea and when he spotted land; it was America! The End. What a beautiful ending, isn’t it? However, this is not the end, there is another side of the story; a darker, terrifying view that is scarcely taught or told. The story that doesn’t paint Christopher Columbus to be a hero so wonderful and praised, a hero who is brave and selfless, a hero who discovered America. The other perspective is filled with horror and disease, loss and labor, death and enslavement; this is the truth about Columbus’s exploration.

Native Americans believed themselves to be part of the earth. To them, land could not be owned or taken. There was a respect for the earth and the surroundings as if it were a living being.

The Native Americans were the first to come to the Americas, live and adapt to the environment. Within North America the Native Americans were divided and spread out into six regions which covered a vast part of North America. Each region had difference environmental conditions and resources but the Native Americans took the area and adapted toward their advantage but also each region provided a different set of challenges that help shape the people that lived there. The regions were known as the Eastern Woodlands, the Plains, the Southwest, the Northwest Coast, the Arctic and the Sub-Arctic (Wolff 2009).

Similarly, the Sons of Liberty rebelled against Britain. They refused to pay their taxes and if tax collectors came they would tar and feather them which I mentioned in the previous paragraph. They also took all of the tea and threw it off of a boat into the harbor because they didn't want to pay taxes on

Early life in North America is divided into three eras. The first of North American settlers started to settle the lands fifteen to ten thousand years ago. These people came from Asia by crossing a now non-existent and bridge that was given the name,  Beringia. The settlers came to North America by following herds of woolly mammoths in order to hunt them for food and use their fur for clothing. These people that were once followed decided to split up and gather all around North America. These natives were called paleo-Indians. People in the Paleo-Indian era began to form various cultures and beliefs, and many different methods of surviving. During this time,  groups would follow their sources of food wherever they went and gathered natural

The “discovery” of America was one that introduced a colonial discourse in Europe, which would shape the relationship between the Europeans of the Old World and the indigenous people of the New World. Exoticism, anxiety, and absurd speculation would fuel the European knowledge of the Americas during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The drawing titled America by Jan Van der Straet, is a classic example of how Europeans used outlandish notions about indigenous Americans to distance themselves from these natives and thus, establish European superiority. Ultimately, Jan van der Straet’s image supports and justifies European colonialism by depicting the indigenous people as savage, primordial and in need of the paternal guidance of the

With liberty and justice for all, is this not what we stand for? Unfortunately in today?s time, this is not what all people actually believe. However, in all practical terms, in current reality of how we live, we fall short of this plan. In view of situations and how others are treated, makes us question ourselves that how are we living this thought of liberty and justice for all?

The Statue of Liberty is a man-made sculpture. The statue was designed and built by a French. It was built to honor the United States. It is a statue of Libertas with her bearing a torch. The statue is located on Liberty Island, which is the Upper New York Bay. Liberty Island is an island in New York. The hours of the Statue of Liberty for Monday through Sunday is 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. To get there, you would have to take a ferry boat. There is a ferry service where it takes you to the statue. A ticket is required for the boat. Different tickets are purchased for certain areas. If you wanted to walk around the Statue of Liberty, you will have to have a pedestal ticket and a ferry ticket. To enter the Statue of Liberty and climb the staircase,

“A higher sense of purpose” must be that warm feeling we get when we talk about American democracy. “A shared foundation of liberty” is ironic because the American idea of how ‘free’ America is in comparison to other countries, according to CNSNEWS, ranks us as 20th in the world on their freedom index (https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/daniel-mitchell/us-barely-cracks-top-20-ranking-nations-overall-freedom). I don’t understand if this is just me but I struggle to find a reason of what America stands for that makes us so special. My dad and I were having a discussion about the whole NFL kneeling scandal and his reasoning for why they shouldn’t do it is that it disrespects what our nation stands for and if we don’t like it leave. He thought

In conclusion, Liberty is choice. If you do not choose liberty than you don’t get liberty. If you do choose liberty than you are respected, treated equal, and you have freedom. When I look at America I think of liberty, peace, and rights. Do you know how many problems America has gone through? Do you know what liberty, peace, and rights are? People need these three things in their lives. You and I are the same as everyone else. A girl has the same rights as a boy. Just because you are treated with peace doesn’t mean your friend isn’t.

The rise of the Native Americans began 15,000 years ago during our last ice age, the nomadic people of North East Asia migrated from Siberia to Alaska via land bridge. Over the next 7,000 years environmental changes forced the natives to set their focus on smaller game and the cultivation of locally available wild plants, accruing this knowledge of agriculture allowed for smaller more dense population’s and confined annual movements subsequently creating culturally distinct and diverse cultures. This isolation of the world led to an

Many years before the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in Bahamas, there were people of different group who discovered America. There were more than 5,000,000,000 people, before 15th century, living in America. Native Americans or the American Indians are the South and North, pre-Columbian American inhabitants living within the present day United States boundary. These were people with different distinct tribe, ethnic groups and bands. Many of these survive as sovereign, intact nations.
