Horrible Events In America's History

There are many events that occurred that became the foundation of present day America. The five most important historical events that occurred during American History were: the Renaissance; the European Reformation; the life of George Washington; concept of Manifest Destiny; and racism. These events each had a significant impact that formed the concepts that are used throughout America today; and, if they never happened or happened differently society would have been greatly affected.

Americas history is what defines us and who we are as a country. We were built on hard work, sacrifice, wanting to be free and independent to be who we want to. Now a-days, we seem to have fallen away from this. Everything is given to us so easily on our computer and through technology that we have no need to work hard anymore. This is the downfall in humanity because as we keep going, life will continue to get easier and we won’t want to do anything. History is our hope so that we can learn from what we did in our past and how things were done then.For starters, we can see what mistakes we did and make sure we don’t do them again. If we continue to the same thing over and over again, there’s no way for our society to improve from this. Our

War, Slavery, Sexism, and Lack of freedom, these were the issues America has faced that put our country through an uproar. Present day America has been through several trials and tribulations in the past to get to the peaceful state it is today. Throughout the course of time America has been hit with unfortunate periods of feuds with countries near and far, determining how little freedom you have based on your gender or race, and in most cases having the government dictate what happens in your life. Despite our hardships, America took baby steps to improve its country. These little and small changes brought us on the journey to turn America into the powerful nation it is now. American history gave us hope for the future.

Many Americans still don't know why we joined in on the war,but the US needed to do something to save the jewish people of Europe.This war was documented as the most deaths in any war.It is calculated that anywhere from 45,000,000-80,000,000 deaths in World War II.Lots of families were affected during this time with the lose of their family.But it wasn't just the families being affected at home,one of every twenty soldiers returned home with PTSD.This war is still affecting many people,especially the soldiers it was recorded in 2004 that 25,000 veterans still deal with

Since the beginning of time we Americans have always fought for what we stand by. The Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War is just one example; the Union was fighting to end slavery and the Confederacy was fighting to keep it. In order to fight you need people, us Americans had the choice of joining/volunteering or if not enough civilians joined there would be a draft. There will always be a price to pay when going into battle as is shown in The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, which gives you an insight to the point of views of both sides and the struggles in the military. Robert E. Lee, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, and John Buford are just a very small portion of the military personnel who suffered the price/hardships.

As Robert Penn Warren once stated, “History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves, and of our common humanity, so that we can better face the future” (Szasz). The comprehension of all historic events is crucial to society’s success. In order for The United States to reach favorable outcomes in the future, its citizens must be knowledgeable of its history to avoid catastrophe or to adopt a beneficial decision-making process. By understanding the background of this staggering nation, the American population can learn of the errors that have been made along with the characteristics of the route to success.

In American history, many great events happened. In the same thought there have also been bad ones. The Boston Marathon Bombing. On April 15, 2013, two bombs were placed and exploded. They killed 3 people and injured at least 264. Yet, even if there was so much destruction, there was also great things to come out of it.

Many people associate the word “genocide” with the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. However, there is a particular genocide much more severe than the Holocaust, the American Indian genocide. It is roughly estimated that ten million Native Americans died due to European contact. Many documents attempt to effectively recount the experiences of the Native Americans and provide accurate information pertaining to their cultures, but the reading that best does this is chapter one of America’s History by James Henretta et al. This reading encompasses a variety of topics; covering Native American society prior to European contact, geography of the Americas, European hierarchy, conflict in the Old World, Native American and European empires, trading networks,

America has been through many wars but there was one that had a massive impact on American society. The Civil war freed the slaves, it kept America from splitting in two, but at the same time it meant the loss of over 700,000 American soldiers. This war was much different than America’s other wars because it was not America against an enemy nation but rather America against itself. That made it very hard fighting in the war. There were many poems and songs that were written that really described the people of America, two of them being Dixie’s Land and Robert E. Lee. Dixie’s Land is a really good example of how them men in the Civil War wanted to just be back in their hometown but fight because they also want to protect it. “...I wish I was

Arthur Asher Miller lived through some of the best and the worst times in the United States’ young history. He was born on October 17, 1915, in the middle of World War 1, when the American economy was booming and the standard of living had increased throughout the nation. Miller had two siblings, an older brother and a younger sister. Miller’s mother was a teacher at a public school and his father was a manufacture of women’s coats in New York City (Nelson 13).

Talking about war tends to make people feel emotional, feel a sort of adrenaline rush, mad, and even proud. These emotions can at times, in my opinion, bring groups together and separate others because of disagreements on views and beliefs. While it is not easy to talk to anyone about delicate topics such as this one, it is important to acknowledge how war can influence societal behavior and culture. Many can argue that war unites people, particularly speaking of the United States; a country is known for its patriotism and pride when it comes down to its military forces and achievements across nations.

History has changed throughout time and has created a long term impact on how we view ourselves and how our story came about. We’ve moved forward and since the 18th century. Americans had written themselves off as a united nation that share common values and beliefs. Especially on Independence. As we open the history books, America 's growth and development counted on the constant failures and hardships it went through. The nation has grown in power, morality, and size. Americans had grown significantly due to our failures and successes we’ve had in the past, along with the determination and strive for a better nation, while we learned from the conquering and enslavement of our own people.
