The Declaration of Independence states that ‘all men are created equal’ and the U. S. Constitution begins with the words ‘We, the people.’ However, the reality of life in the early United States showed that only a tiny fraction of the people living in the United States were fully citizens: women, Native Americans, African Americans, and poor people were all denied full legal rights. In your opinion, how much progress has the United States made in the 244 years since the Declaration of Independence was written toward truly living up to the vision of freedom and equality for all citizens? Use examples from this course including laws passed by Congress, decisions of Presidents, Supreme Court decisions and actions of citizens and local governments in your answer. 5 paragraphs, no intro needed.

"a shortage of traditional labor created new opportunities in the workplace. a major cause of the internment of japanese americans during world war ii was. racial prejudice. in the early 1940's, the "destroyers-for-military-bases deal" with great britain and the lend-lease act were evidence that the united states."

native american contribution: the patriots from britain learn how to hunt, fish, and introduce diversity within cultures.

african americans: indirectly introduced the idea of diversity to americans. africans coming to america because of slavery taught white americans that people come from different backgrounds and colors. it also built america's economic stability for a great period of time. 

women: make america what it is today. there are some societies that are in the world currently that do not give women the same right we give women here in the united states. because women have rights here in the united states, other countries' citizens strive to come to america, especially women, since they have equal rights in the united states. this is important because america is seen and desired by many in the world. 

children: children are our future. we learn from our elders and carry out things the same or differently learning from america's history. we continue tradition and change tradition if it is needed.
