In World War 2 many people had to go in to hiding. If you had to stay in a house or attic or small living area what would you do without drawing attention to yourself? How would you stay quiet for 2 or more year with your whole family? More people you don’t like or know could be living with you for year at a time in a small living area. Some ways I could keep myself occupied is by reading a book if there were any left if you keep any. Another way to keep myself occupied is to stare outside the…

If George Washington would come back for one day and see how us Americans are acting and our patriotism towards America he wouldn’t be happy at all. In fact when George Washington said one of his quotes it stated “The name of American, which belongs to you in your natural capacity must always exalt the just pride of patriotism…..”, and what that is if you are an American you should always speak highly or never speak bad on Americas. The role of patriotism today isn’t very large on a lot of…

As a result of the Industrial Revolution, the U.S. became a true world power for the first time in history. There were four major reasons for the U.S. to develop an empire in the late 1800's, which were the closing of the American frontier, economics, religious and moral reasons, and geopolitics (Schultz, 2013). The idea behind manifest destiny was that the U.S. was destined by God to control all of the lands between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. After the all of that land was conquered, many…

Many people ask about what defines America. America has provided millions of citizens a life to build without limitations. It gives families a variety of broad opportunities to sustain and maintain a fundamentally well established future for themselves and their children.

This is what it means to be an American. America…

Independence Day, or the 4th of July, is a U.S. national holiday celebrating the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Many Americans celebrate Independence Day by shooting off fireworks, going to a parade, and enjoying the hot summer weather. My family drives down to Rockwood, Illinois for Independence Day and to visit my cousins Eddie, Katie, Emma, and Hannah. My favorite memory with my cousins was when we had a giant Independence Day Capture the Flag…

No political force in the nineteenth century was stronger than nationalism. It replaced dynastic loyalty with loyalty based on ethnic considerations.

It is important to note that countries have to be dreamt up before they can be real. Someone has to believe in that nation,…

The term revolution in The American Heritage Science Dictionary is defined as “an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed”. By this definition, the American Revolution was simply not revolutionary. This “revolution” did not effectively transform America as it did not completely abolished the British influence from the colonies, it did not abolish slavery, and it merely reinforced the preexisting political and…

the two main themes in the debate over “hispanization”? Your response introduces the opinions by J. O’Sullivan and F. Fukuyama. How did they support their argument? (18 points) I believe that the two main ideas can only be summarized as being either for or against the idea of the book Who Are We? By Huntington. O’Sullivan focuses on the book by focusing more on the national identity vs. Fukuyama who focused more on the liberal democracy With that being said there are troubles that could arise…
