- American Democracy
Abraham Lincoln, one of the best-loved and most respected of America’s presidents, said that the United States had a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” No one has formulated a better way the ideals of the American political system as Americans understand it. The Constitution, laws and traditions of the United States give the people the right to determine who will be the leader of their nation, who will make the laws and what the laws will be. The people have the power to change the system. The Constitution guarantees individual freedom to all. - American Indians
Because Indians lived in scattered groups and had little contact with each other, they developed different cultures. They spoke over 1000 different languages, wore different types of clothes and made their living in different ways. Indians who settled in northern areas hunted and fished. Those who settled in the east and southwest farmed. Despite their many differences, most Indians shared the belief that people should live in harmony with nature. They believed that people should not own land because the land, like the air, stars and water, belonged to everyone. - History of the USA
Some of the early British colonists had come to the New World in hopes of enriching themselves; other came because Britain forced them to leave – they were troublemakers or people who could not pay their debts. Some came because of the opportunity, which did not exist for them in Europe, to own land or practice a trade. - US Participation In Treaty Of Versailles
President George W. Bush, despite continuing opposition from his own people, has placed his country at the unenviable point of no-return. Interestingly, what is happening in America today seems to be an echo of the events of 1918 when another president had to face resistance to the forceful stance he wanted his country to adopt in the aftermath of World War 1.
