The United States of America was built on the equality of human beings as an entire race. Throughout every decade the liabilities and rights of our government are shifted into a new way of thinking in legislature. The political cartoon chosen impacts our society today in one of the largest political debates of our generation in the eyes of those who have personally had to deal with the cause. Without artists creating political cartoons to advertise around the world, we would have no way to express the undeniable importance of the movement to allow same-sex marriage in The United States. This specific political cartoon not only shows how little Americans today feel as if they can trust their own government, explains the privacy that this matter should be dealt with, and last but not least presents the argument of how our government is not following through with their promise to our country for political reform. When America was founded, our nation was supposed to be a safe-haven from Britain’s tyranny overseas. The country was created to be a solid place of freedom and having an open mind. Of course, as time has passed, each generation has decided in itself what is acceptable to our society and what is not. When it comes to people disagreeing on topics in the United States of America, the government enjoys stepping in and deciding what should and should not be allowed in ‘their’ country. America was not made so that a few individuals have to right to decide how every other
The Southern States of America was made up of the following, Georgia with Atlanta as the Capital of the new union, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentucky. Although, Kentucky wasn’t a sure bet at this point, there was still a lot of work to do in that state.
Following numerous events in the 1850’s and early 1860’s, eleven of the southern states of the United States of America would make a fateful decision to succeed from the Nation. They would in turn create their own independent country, the Confederate States of America. This action and its ramifications echoed throughout the world during the Era and the effects are still felt today. A civil war would ensue, lasting from April of 1861 until May of 1865. During this conflict approximately 700,000 people would lose their lives and the end would come with the Confederate States of America surrendering at Appomattox Courthouse.
The basic explanation of what this compromise was, is basically a package of 5 different bills that the United states Congress passed in 1850. That is not all though, for it is rather more complicated than just being 5 different bills. to further understand the compromise, you need to think back to the slave and free states of our country at this time.
In the United States of America, slavery has been abolished formally on December 6, 1865 through the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Constitution has also established the fundamental law, method of governing, and rights of individuals. However, what if I told you that there is a certain group of people who are unjustifiably stopped, searched, and arrested by law enforcement, governed by a different set of laws which are more strict, in addition to the justice system that further dictates their lives after release and all this because of their race and ethnicity. This was the reality of the five black and hispanic teens in the Central Park jogger case, the people of color who cannot afford a prominent attorney, the people
The journey of how the United States of America became the United States of America is a very complex one. With America declaring separation from the Great English Empire, to the organization of becoming a free, sovereign nation and lastly, the migration and colonization of the now, western United States, including the great state of Nevada, has many components. The Declaration of Independence initiated the process of becoming a country of its own. This Document pushed the separation from England and showed the world that America was now its own nation. The United States Constitution laid out the blue print of how the United States would work. This was after a failed attempt of the Articles of Confederation. After the Constitution was created, the process of migrating west began in order to colonize the western region of the United States. Nevada had a big role in this because we helped President Abraham Lincoln gain a second term. The first chapters of the story of the Untied States of America were a dangerous, difficult and long one, but because of this, the people that live in this country today have the freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The entrance of the United States of America into the First World War in 1917 on the sides of the allies impacted the outcome of the Great War by tilting the strategic military balance in favor for the allies and against the Central Powers. The Central Powers, made up of the German Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Austria-Hungarian Empire, were fighting to preserve their empires in light of geopolitical shifts occurring at the time. The US entered the war partially to restore Global Peace and also to vanquish the German Empire, which had antagonized the US by seeking to form a hostile military alliance with Mexico to the detriment of American national interests (Doyle 1160).
The United States of America was founded on the basic principles and ideals that gave citizens a voice in the dictation of their country. The “We the People” mindset has been a clear example of the American citizen’s right to the ballot. This right was originally only given to white men. Not everyone was entitled to enfranchisement. Some citizens had to fight for their right to vote. Passed in 1870, just five years after the War Between the States, the 15th Amendment was passed, granting African American men the right to vote. While this was a huge step towards equality at the ballot box, a large portion of the population was still missing basic equalities. Women still were not granted the right to vote, and had no say in any political
The United States of America: Land of the free! Home of the brave! A place where opportunities are endless and equality is everlasting. Speaking on behalf of others in my generation, I believe it is safe to say many of us have seen a lot of selfish and outrageous acts develop drastically. From white cops killing innocent black citizens, to people supporting the evil Donald Trump, to ostracizing ourselves from the LGBT community and looking down upon them, it is quite obvious that the saying “America: the greatest country in the world” isn’t so accurate. We are naïve to the destruction that occurs daily and have a habit of sugarcoating our mistakes. The matter of the truth is: our generation is distorted and unethical, which is why in 200
The United States of America is a nation that displays strong democratic tradition but history teaches us that there have been presidents whom have demonstrated imperialism. Imperialism occurs when a stronger nation takes over by force a weaker nation or region and then imposes it’s economic, political and or cultural life on that region. Imperialism has been around for centuries beginning in the ancient world when great empires arose due to a civilization or religious belief attempting to dominate and control others. Then in the modern age the word is most often associated with the British Empire but in the late 19th and early 20th century the United States also possessed imperialistic policies. U.S. President’s such as William McKinley,
At the beginning of the 18th century, the United States of America was beginning its long journey to becoming a nation. Free from the British Empire the United States started a government for and by the people something lacking previously. As George Washington was sworn into office his wife, Marsha Washington also took on new responsibilities. The Republican court was formed as a unifying tool. Held in the center of the country at the time, Philadelphia, it served as a way for people to converse about various topics. For Marsha Washington it became a social gathering. Described by Abigail Adams as “Too bibulous (two quarter casks of wine and spirits drained), too ravenous (200 pounds of cake gobbled), and too loud.” AS Washington’s term came to an end, John Adams was voted. Abigail Adams came to take over the Republican Court. She came to reform and modernize the conversation and status of the court. With experiences in European courts, thanks to her husband’s political ambassador experiences, she saw the European court ceremonies of dress, conversation and overall prestige with the courts. The Early Republican Court became a symbol and a tool for women to display their political knowledge.
The United States of America was founded in the right place, at the right time, for the right reasons. Our uniqueness, freedom, creativity, and strength all stem from being the first country born to debate. But there were multiple lucky circumstances that allowed us to do this. Perhaps so fortuitous that if some of these things never occurred, America may have not been founded like it was today. We were founded in the right place because the land where the colonies had settled were bereft of gold, which resulted in a long term "light" administrative hand from the British. The colonies were afterthoughts to them (they had been for over 180 years), and when the "grip tightened", as a result on the tax of tea, a revolution occurred. We were founded in the right time because people were getting smarter. Top-down authority was fading, King James I declaring that he ruled by divine right was a testament to this, and people wanted their voice to be heard in the expression of religion. And we were founded for the right reasons because for the first time, men thought that the free mind and soul of a Man was the answer to explaining the world and rule of it, not a crown. The practice of argument and debate allows the American people to exercise their right of free speech under the constitution, a right that this country has shed blood over to protect, and allows our voices to translate into useful ideas as
It has been seven years since the largest and most powerful capitalist country in the world faced an uncertain and volatile financial meltdown that affected domestic and international soils. The United States of America (USA) was hit by a recession that began in early 2007, under the leadership of President George W. Bush.
In XIX century, after Europe start the Enlightenment movement in the pasts century XVIII, United States started to be influenced for this movement too. The industrial age had arrived and the country started a vertiginous growth into new technologies and conditions. However, besides of the new way of thinking and the new reality that United States was living in that period of time, the country was divided into the “Liberalism” and “Conservatism”, traditions and movements. Enlightenment starts to form a shape, especially strong in the northern states in comparison with the southern states. United States had a very strong slavery culture in its foundations, specifically surrounding the African Americans and Blacks. During that time, the
The United States of America has over five million primary care physicians who directly affect the overall quality and cost of healthcare by way of their treatments, prescriptions, orders and diagnoses. These doctors strive every day to provide top quality care, even though they are stretched to the max, due to the decreasing amount of qualified primary care doctors available today.
For several years, the inhabitants of our country were taken advantage of, trade of inhabitants into slavery, victims of killings and singled out by the immigrants who sought entitlements of their territories. Before any European or Spanish authority stepped foot on American coasts, the inhabitants already had their origins rooted in the soil of what was to become the United States of America. Different from the immigrants, the occupants did not have the same approach to declaring and take control of the land. They were seekers who were watchful of the land they were occupants of and deemed themselves equivalents of any, and anything that occupied the area. They pictured the land as open for those who wanted to live there. They were also
