The Pros And Cons Of Freedom In America

Flags burning under raining bombs, gunshots echoing through a field of raining terror, while hiding underground for the day where humanity can roam free again; situations as so aren’t exactly what people imagine when thinking about one’s future. Every death was honored by those who lived; lives lost during wars of any kind are unlike lives lost in our country today, not for the value of those once living are greater than another, but from how much those lives mean to this day. Establishment and preservation of freedom wasn’t easy and will never be easy; many people served until their last breath, for the freedoms of our lives today. That is why we must continue to grasp for freedom, and to establish and preserve our freedom most effectively we must have the heart to be free, and have united dedication to freedom itself.

Freedom is how we are living, it’s how we stand, and it’s how we are free to speak out. In my opinion freedom means the power to act, speak, live, and think as we want without any harm or limit from somebody. Everyday citizens are working and doing hard labor to try and keep America civilized. I highly respect people who work and make an effort to maintain our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. America is Where everybody wants to go and is why people leave their hometown because of freedom. America is supposedly the land of the free. I feel though as if our nation is falling apart. As stated by John F. Kennedy, “America is filled with both crisis and opportunity.” This meaning you can make your “life experience” in America good or bad but there’s always hope. America can fall apart with terrorist attacks or events like 9/11 but these events is how we make allies and how the citizens of America work together as a team no matter your race, gender, experience, or status there is a job to be completed and that is the main reason how America gets stronger.

The American Revolution started when Britain started to tax the colonists without their consent. The stamp acts started a chain reaction of discontent. The colonists realized they were being treated unfairly and unequal to the citizens in Britain. Around this time when the Americans were facing discontent, many Enlightenment ideas were spreading. The colonists took many ideas like John Locke’s into mind when they planned their revolts. They were fighting for natural rights of

America is the universal symbol of freedom. But is it really free? Does the history of the United States stay true to the ideas of our forefathers? Or has the definition been altered to fit American policies? Has freedom defined America? Or has America defined freedom? I believe America was at first defined by freedom, then after time, America defined freedom, altering the definition to fit the niche it fits in, but still keeping key components so it still seems to be staying true to the ideas of America’s founding fathers.

The struggle between power and freedom has been part of civilization since time began perhaps earlier than when the Egyptians enslaved the Jews up to this very day. The starting point of United States came about when Britain exercised too much power over the early settlers of the U.S. taxation without representation was the rallying cry of the early colonists. Thus, the Revolutionary War was born! Britain imposed taxes that the colonists were unfair. The Sugar Act and the Stamp Act both played a big part in antagonizing American colonists toward rebellion against Britain.

Americans were very loyal to the British government in until, Britain started taxing them without their consent, this led the American government to rally for freedom and eventually by 1775 the Americans were no longer loyal to Britain. Britain was in deep debt because of the French and Indian war and expected the Colonists to pay without warning. This caused the colonists to start to defy the the British rule. Then people were convincing the Colonists who were so loyal to the crown to defy by writing persuasive things, like Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. Britain did not approve of this and still wanted America to be under their control and their control only. This inspired groups and movements to fight for freedom from the British.

Thomas Paine was one of the most famous politics of all time.He was born in 1737 in the United Kingdom and ended up playing a big role in the American Revolution. being a inspiration for the colonists to fight hard for their country.

The first early example of rebellion and colonists standing up for what they believed in was the Maryland Act of Religious Toleration which achieved religious freedom which the Founding Fathers used as inspiration for the new America and the beliefs that would be represented. The British then wanted more money and so they passed many Acts that taxed the colonists on all manner of things and even forced them to let British soldiers invade their home. These Acts caused many rebellions by the colonists and angered them greatly. These Acts motivated the colonists to stand up for their ideas and in their hope for a free country where they could have a say too. These Acts and rebellions then caused the Revolutionary War. When the war was won, Congress encountered some difficulties in setting up a new government that would satisfy everyone, but they eventually worked it out with a few mishaps. It then created the America we know today that would not have happened without the rebellious nature of the colonies. Although there are no more problems like the ones Americans encountered in the 1600s-1800s, there will always be problems concerning our government that can only be improved by people standing for what they believe in and how they think they should be governed. In the history and formation of America, the colonies rebelled against what they thought was wrong, and stood up for what they believed in and achieved what they wanted as a

Thomas Paine was born on February 9, 1737 in Thetford, Norfolk England. Thomas Paine was a very important and influential person in the events that lead to the revolutionary war. He wrote his book named "common sense" which argued his views on government and how free states should be governed. His writing influenced a number of people to support the fight for independence and show the people who wanted to fight that they actually have a purpose and are not risking their life for no reason. Thomas Paine was able to write strong arguments showing the government and people the reasons why monarchy should be discarded and why the people should support and join the fight for independence and stay strong for their country. Thomas Paine was one of

Modern day America wasn't always a free nation like it is now, as centuries ago it was in the rule of Great Britain. Not wanting to be forever stuck in a non-beneficial relationship, colonists revolted against Britain which shaped us into the nation we are today. Britain used the colonies for only gain, making them pay high taxes for goods like sugar and tea. Britain also shot colonists at a riot "for their safety" even though it was thought that they were to protect the colonies. Thomas Paine fueled the want to secede from Britain by writing in his works "Common Sense" and "The Crisis."

The power or right to act, speak or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. A word created by man to escape the bonds of tyranny to express the idea of what it means to persist one's own ambitions. Freedom. Freedom is not the absence of confinement but the will to achieve freedom when imprisoned. After carefully concluding the reading done over this semester one is able to clearly understand the confinement these early Americans felt and their decision to achieve a form of freedom. Freedom has always existed but it is the history of this nation that will define what actions freedom takes.

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.
