The things that i 've learned this year in APUSH is that Americans only believe that they are right so their perspectives are the only correct ones. The second thing I learned is that racism in American history can come in different ways and forms. Third thing I learned is that during The Civil Rights Movement MLK wouldn’t be able to do many things without having Malcolm X threatening the government (this actually made me think about life in a different way, X is the unsung hero).Fourth thing I learned is that the US wanted people to immigrate over here but when they did not need them anymore they rushed to kick out immigrants.The last but not least, Individual vs. Community has a big role in American history, people say that individualism

We have separated ourselves in so many ways that it 's hard to unite as one when we need too.But when the government tried to help with race after the Civil War, they made laws that were lowkey racist.

the community.

This is a reason why to teach students about this class so they can see how america has been going back and forth with this
