Home of The Brave

America, the home of the brave, land of opportunity. How could anyone not love America? Lets just take a walk down memory lane shall we. Pilgrims came to america because the no longer wanting to be under the Queen of England, (immigrants) came to america bringing over smallpox which killed a lot of Native Americans. Not knowing the language of the land or ways and customs they continued their own by trying to bring a little piece of home to the new world, along with striping native americans from their culture and pushing their own on to them. Making them learn english and their ways of life. Moving a little further down the lane, the first colonist no longer wanted to pay taxes so we have historical evens such as the Boston Tea party and America won their independence, but lets not forget about the african slaves being brought over on ships to do american labor, the slaves were beat, hung, and rapped. The first president of the United States had many affairs with his slave women. The children was not treated to badly, they had lighter skin then other slaves so they didn't have to do work in the field, they were a little better I'm guessing.

Moving alone, racial segregation came into play, where blacks were not allowed to drink from, go to school with, eat with, and pretty much anything else with whites. This was also something going on with the asians that came over to american they had to go through some of this very treatment. Civil Rights leaders fought hard for rights, rights for blacks, rights for women, because if you was not a man you could not have of own anything. Now that brings us to presents times, we have a black president that had to give up his religion  and ties to people that didn't fit will with what he was being elected to, their are now people working to stop immigrants from coming into america, and if they get in they have to jump throw a lot of financial hoops but they can't work, but people will hire them to cut their grass, and clean their homes, isn't that nice of them.
