American History

Americans are a unique people who uphold liberty and prosperity for all. The revolution and drafting of the constitution allowed those people who had hitherto been barred from chasing the American dream the opportunity to do so without any restrictions. The American dream is an ideology of people of the United States of America focused towards the betterment of their society. American First Hand highlights the challenges faced by the American people and their endeavors to change their society, government, religion among other factors which were questionable at the time.  The ideas and opinions awakened in by Americans during this colonial period to question the political, social and religious order were significant to the birth of the now famous, American dream.

The government allowed the majority to have their way by enacting laws towards this end. America should not be a segregated society based on age, creed, sex, political affiliations, religion, ethnicity, race among other divergent backgrounds but should work together to achieve the dream of having a better, human and independent nation. Democratic rights are fostered in the American identity and dream since they ultimately lead to the prosperity of America. All citizens have the hope of pursuing and achieving a better, happier life by becoming rich as is rooted in the American declaration of independence. The state of equilibrium in society envisioned by the American people is an uphill task since they are hampered by class-mostly between the middle class and the poor and racial inequalities in the contemporary American society.

The founders of America created a country a country of natural and bountiful wealth and a beacon of prosperity and liberty in the whole world through their ethical and philosophical principles that are implemented even today such as the opportunity for every child to obtain the best education and receive the reciprocal career opportunities tied to their achievements. Immigrants and slaves were perceived as non-Americans before the revolution and were therefore exempted from the American identity and dream. The revolution destroyed these barriers and made it possible for all and sundry to chase the American dream. This group has vividly been assimilated into the American society leading to the reengineering of the society to allow multicultural society where immigrants use English as the national language, be industrious and unrelenting, the protestant ethic, as well as pride in their new national identity where liberty and democracy is upheld.
