As Americans, we have a relatively short, but very rich, history. We have seen everything from slavery, to great wars, to tragic witch hunts that took the lives of hundreds of innocents. But in all this darkness, the light has found a way to shine. Slavery began thousands of years ago and was prevalent in many places for a very long time.…
