Out of Our Past Themes

Unity

Throughout the history of the United States, unity has played an important role in securing the country against attacks, both external and internal. With a sense of pride and unity for being in an area where freedom of speech and religion is allowed, people are more likely to continue that tradition, and have the sense to realize when it is being gone against. Throughout the history of America itself and the United States, unity is an important factor that has kept its citizens together, even through the hardest of times.

Freedom

Since the very first immigrant came to the Americas in what we believe was the fifteenth century, the continent has been a breeding ground for ideas of freedom. Beginning with the Puritans, who sought freedom of religion from their native European home, the idea that people shouldn't be forced to think a certain way took hold. Later, during the American Revolutionary War, the thirteen colonies gained yet another set of freedoms from Europe, and finally began to set the true foundations for what would become modern day America.

Cultural Synthesis

Throughout the history of the continent, America has been a sort of melting pot for different societies and cultures to interact with one another. Without this cultural synthesis, America would be very far from what we see in it today. Set of freedom, people also became free of general harmful stereotypes that would keep them from unifying. Although, throughout the years, there have been multiple problems with keeping America a completely un-stereotyped society, it can be said that, for the most part, today's America is safe and unified.

Opportunity

With all of these freedoms and ideas, America became the land of opportunity. With so much wealth and safety offered in the states, America was the perfect place for immigrants looking to escape the troubled societies from which they lived. America was built on freedom, but with that came opportunity for others to have freedom, something that isn't necessarily taken for granted in other parts of the world, making modern day America truly a unique place.
