Improved Essays
America, the land of freedom, opportunity and bravery. Bravery to try new things, explore unknown possibilities and be successful no matter where you began. This is the beauty of America. This is what sets us apart from the 195 countries on the planet.
Also, let’s not forget just how unlikely this country was to come about. A bunch of colonies in the New World, under the rule of Great Britain. They, after years of sickness, hunger and overall hardship they colonized America. It is with determination that they persevered, and pressed forward. If they had not, then many of the founding fathers and instrumental people in founding this country would not have been put in the situation they were, with the knowledge they possessed, to lead a revolutionary

    1. As Benjamin Rush explained, the signers of the Declaration of Independence were uncertain that they would survive their revolutionary act. The signers could have easily been hunted down, tried for treason, and executed. They knew that what they were doing was bold, but they did not know that it would be shaping and changing America for years to come. Today, we view these founders as brave men who made intelligent decisions in order to change America for the better.…

    The America I believe in is a country founded upon the basic right of freedom. Although often overlooked by many countries, freedom should be an essential part of any human’s life. Our Founding Fathers, who were strong advocates of freedom, took a risk by declaring their independence from the British tyranny. I feel that this risk that many considered to be unwise and rash, proved to be a brave and important decision that became an example for many countries who would later go on to declare their independence, such as Afghanistan and Egypt. The Founding Fathers had one thing that will prove to be a key constituent in many historical events: they had hope.…

    America is the land of the free, because of the brave. Americans enjoy many freedoms because of the democracy our ancestors fought very hard to establish. Freedom summarizes what being an American is about, but it’s not what an American is. An American is someone who is brave enough to do something even though the punishment is severe, someone who sees opportunity and stops at nothing to achieve it, and someone who doesn’t take the easy way out. Bravery is part of the definition of an American.…

    Shaele Leach Florida “My Responsibility to America” “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” On July 4, 1776 we declared independence from Great Britain and became this magnificent nation that we are blessed to call home. The fact that we can, with pride, call ourselves Americans is all thanks to the founding fathers and the blood, sweat, and tears of the colonists fighting against British domination. These brave men and women made it their duty, their responsibility to ensure that not only they would be free from the tyrannical oppressiveness imposed on them from Britain, but that all future Americans would be free from all forms of tyranny and oppression from any and all countries.…

    The United States of America: a land of opportunity, freedom, and justice. As an immigrant, I can say with certainty that there is no other place in the world that I would rather live in other than the United States. Becoming an American citizen has been by far one of the best things that have ever happened to me, not only because of having a legal status, but because of the quality of life that I can achieve for my family and for myself. All of this is possible thanks to the freedoms and the rights that we enjoy as citizens of this great nation, and that are showcased on four major historical documents that reflect the values and ideas that continue to shape our society: the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, the Declaration…
