Are freedom and equality the two words that describe America? I think it is, because every time I think of America’s history, I think of their struggle towards independence against the British monarchy. When I was taking the US History class last year, we spent a LOT of time talking about how the Americans started to hate the British’s control, how the British treated them like workers, trying to get them to pay unreasonable taxes. The Americans wanted to have their own government and have the right to decide things for themselves, in other words, they wanted freedom. I think freedom and independence most accurately describes the values of America. The value of equality also accurately describes the values of America. In Great Britain, there are kings and aristocratic families, and in America there aren’t any families like that. In America, everyone is equal; nobody can have more rights than someone else. I think these values are something you’ll hold like a treasure, because the Americans fought very hard to get what they want, they fought a lot of wars for this cause, and many Americans died. Something that is achieved by such a way will not be treated without respect.
