Between 1865 and 1900 in America was a wild time. With cowboys, miners, Indians, immigrants, and freed slaves. All groups trying to achieve the American dream. A dream of democracy, freedom, justice, opportunity, equality, and human rights. Chasing the American dream is what makes this country great, even today.

This should not go without saying that he waged a domestic war against the southern population, disregarded the English speaking world 's most sacred precept from Magna Charta with his temporary suspension of Habeas Corpus, and he violated constitutional principles when he threatened to imprison a Supreme Court Chief Justice. While this is certainly not a complete list of…

It was not until after World War II and the Cold War that international concerns provoked Americans to rethink about the domestic issues about human rights within the country. The United States had became the leader in preventing the spread of communism to parts of the world, but refused to realize that segregation and the denial of human rights made…

They found that the European is not a direct descendant of the ape and the Australian Aboriginal but…
