How Is America Strong Or Resilient

Improved Essays
The America I believe in is strong and resilient. We have survived through all of our hardships. This country of mine is strong and steady through everything tragedy we have faced.

The Founding Fathers had one thing that will prove to be a key constituent in many historical events: they had hope.…
