Humans are much more proficient at hurting people than they are at showing kindness. How did this expertise get so misplaced?

The United States engaged in a war that did not in any way endanger the lives of American citizens. Even the foreign affairs agency admitted that Vietnam did not inflict any harm on Americans. However, the idea of spreading communism is enough to send Americans to war. After years of peace the American government shatters everything when they began to ship soldiers off to war. Along with my disapproval of the war, Americans also did not want the war to go on. This can be seen at the Kent University incident where students were so upset by the war that they began to burn down buildings. The power behind anti war is very strong and is something that I agree with.

The newly acquired western lands were once believed to be deserts and unusable. But, news that came back from those who settled in the west had a completely opposite view. The land west was actually very fertile and could sustain life and civilization. Afterwards, the US government continued to take advantage of Native Americans on an ongoing fight for land. They were very successful in completing their goal because they were simply better than the Natives.

As a result, the US government continued to take advantage of Native Americans and was successful at first, but over time it was not.

Jacksonian Democracy meant that politically, everyone would have a say; most importantly the common man.

Andrew Jackson’s policy of removal on the Native Americans succeeded, but left the country in disarray.

The assessment that called Andrew Jackson to be the “symbol for an age” is very true.

The Articles of Confederations ultimately united the colonies and formed states, but had many downfalls because it could not effectively run and control a proper government.

The sad truth of the American civil war.

The process to amend the US Constitution is intentionally difficult because amendments are serious matters in which a majority of the states have to approve before its acceptance.
