The Land Of The Free And The Home

America was a country that suffered a great flaw within its own constitution for many years and that was against the freedom of every man. A time before its own separation by conflicting ideals of the North and South there was a war that lead up to the buildup. This war is known as the Mexican American War and is one of the most major wars there ever was in the time period. It was one of the only wars that was only provoked because of land and help America expand to the Pacific ocean side of the continent by forcibly taking land. The Mexican War was a conflict like most others in American history that some Americans had issues with; one being Henry David Thoreau, whose argument was well supported by different viewpoints about the start of the conflict, what he did during the conflict, and what ensued from the conflict ended.

Today we are making more than we can use. Today our industrial society is congested; there are more workers than there is work, there is more capital than investment. We do not need more money- we need more circulation, more employment.” This quote from Albert J. Beveridge shows a problem in the economy in America. If the leaders of America during the rise of American Imperialism focused more on what is happening in their own country, instead of showing the world how large and powerful the navy and military is, which goes against almost every American ideal, then the United States may be more financially stable today. It is a shame that the problems we face today can lead back to the problems of the past. The problems of the past should make the leaders of the world today realize the next step in fixing the problem. The opposite has happened. The leaders today have to fix the problems that started in the past, which makes it hard for the government to progress away from American Imperialism. Instead of learning from the past the world is focused on fixing the problems that have occurred because of the past, and almost every incident past the 1920s have occurred as a result of American

America: “The land of the free, and the home of the brave” (Key 7-8). When our forefathers overcame the colonial reign of the British Empire, they formed the United States of America based on the premise of enlightened ideals promoting life, ownership of land, and liberty. But after the revolution, the country’s problems were far from solved. The country’s post-revolution issues sparked a Civil War, which was followed by a reconstruction. In some ways, the Civil War and Reconstruction helped the United States accomplish its original goals, but in many ways, that was not the case.

The United States is known for being ‘land of the free’, a nation with a Declaration of Independence, as well, as a Constitution protecting the rights of it’s citizens. Wars have been fought and many people have died so we could have the rights that present today. The freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and most importantly the right to petition our government; all of which fall under the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights. Our nation’s flag is an everlasting symbol of freedom and hope

Dawning like the sun on a new day, the United Sates of America has risen to become the most powerful nation on Earth. The United States of today is a land of freedom and inspiration, and a place where dreams have a real possibility of coming true. Though the United States may be very strong today, it wasn’t always like this. In the years leading up to the formation of the United States, many of what are considered “natural rights” were not established, and the nation was in chaos trying to fight for these rights from the overruling British empire led by King George III. Several things led to the formation and firm establishment of the United States, the three most prominent being the imposition of taxation acts, acts of rebellion

America is known to all around the world as the “Land of the Free” but, why is America called the “Land of the Free” or the “Land of Opportunity” when most people that have lived or are currently living in America have to fight every day for equality especially if it pertains to race or sexuality? The late poet Langston Hughes, one of many that contributed to the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s, lived in an era where equality was sought but never obtained.During the time that Hughes was writing this particular poem, many events took place that contributed to his pieces such as Jim Crow Laws, The Great Depression, and the climax of the Ku Klux Klan. During that time, Hughes took the opportunity to write about how America can never be America

In Home of the Free, Wendell Berry, the author takes issue with the way people go through life wanting work and lifestyles to be easier without thinking of the consequence of what it takes to live life “free”. They have the modern day conveniences to help them from getting their hands dirty or having to do anything that someone else can do for them. Berry implies the only way to avoid doing work that might get their hands dirty or feel unsafe doing or, is that they would have to be put into a protective capsule or that person would have to die.

America, land of the free, home of the brave. This phrase reflects the patriotic ideals that citizens of America have become accustomed to since the birth of the nation. But what is interesting is how the United States overcome obstacle after obstacle in the early years as a republic and became a great and powerful nation. History shows that methods of resistant and protest, both violent and nonviolent, have been used to gain liberties and freedoms which caused early government to struggle. To understand the formation of the American people and their relationship with the government we will have to start before America was a country.

The first word usually associated with The United States is freedom. These words have been engrained since its independence, the declaration states thing such as “unalienable rights” and “all men are created equal”. Although it has been believe that America is “land of the free” for the past two centuries, it has been the exact opposite, at every point in American history there has been a group of people calling for equality. America before the 20th century was not a nation provided its citizens with proper freedoms.

America is known as home of the free, though it wasn’t always like this. Before the year 1791 america was ruled by the british king was being abusive in his ruling. In 1776 America had pulled away from the ruling and became independent. To insure that they would never have to go through problems like that again they made the ‘Bill of Rights’ which describes each freedoms a person has. We have the mistreatment of the british to thank for our right of privacy and allowed us to have a non oppressive government.

Although today the United States are known for being the “Land of the Free”, it was not always so easy to feel the liberty that is supposed to be a god given right. As more people migrated to and throughout the USA, it become increasingly clear that not everyone was welcome. Stereotypes and prejudice actions became typical for settlers to become involved in and made life hard for many ethnic immigrants throughout the United States. For those peoples from Ireland along with African Americans and the native people, life was extremely difficult to live when those settlers around did not except them beyond the steroetypes placed over their heads. Known for being “less than” and savages, these people had to work harder than their peers to make

United States of America, home of the brave and land of the greedy. While free is the word that is usually a part of that statement, there are many countries that would disagree with you on word choice. For example, no one enjoys a country that helps fund your country’s dictatorship only because they do not want communism spreading through the political system like wild fire. Hundreds of soldiers trained and many innocent dead. While the American’s were not pulling the triggers, they were giving the guns and training the army to fight and kill all who seemed to be siding with the communist party. Yet many do not know that America would do this to small little El Salvador. While in turmoil, El Salvador has always been a country of peaceful

When I hear the word freedom. I think of doing what I want. I think of having as many kids as I want. I also think of about all of the men that died for me. I think about all of the places I can go. That was the main thing I think of freedom.

In the article In the ‘land of the free’ are you free to sit out the national anthem? Jaweed Kaleem covers the story of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sitting during the national anthem and the debate that came along with it. Kaepernick is a supporter and activist for Black Lives Matter movement. While Kaepernick grew up with two white parents, his biological father was African American. I support Kaepernick because many African American athletes feel like they represent a country that does not represent them and because Kaepernick is just exercising his freedom of speech that is written clearly in the first amendment of the Constitution.

Abraham Lincoln’s speech has brought out some good points on what this country is built on. As stated by Abraham Lincoln this is a country that was founded by our forefathers and it is conceived in liberty. In the speech he mentions the reason to why we as the people should honor what the dead has given us. It is the reason for the people living in this nation would do anything for it. As stated by Lincoln “Our father’s brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedication to the proposition that all men are created equal.
