When we think of America, we think of the land of the free and democracy. On the other hand, some of history has made it hard to celebrate what we are supposed to stand for. What items in our history might seem shameful or hard to celebrate?

Answered below.

Explanation:

Our history of racial segregation and inequality is shameful and cannot be celebrated. Ownership of slaves, making slaves work in cotton fields and other hard labour, oppression of blacks and other minority ethnic groups in the early days of our country, civil rights abuses and discrimination and ultimately the civil war, are all shameful events in our history.

The arrests and dehumanisation of Americans of Japanese ethnicity after the Pearl Harbour attacks, locking them away in inhumane camps and denying their rights to freedom was another event in our history which was shameful and not representative of the freedom and democracy which we stand for.

Thankfully a lot has changed since these periods, but we must do more to continue to protect our democracy and freedom.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
