America is a place of freedom and peace. Unless you're talking about the economy. The east are stereotyping the west as lazy. The west stereotyped the west as greedy and only interested if they make a quick buck. They are against each other because they have different life styles. If they want to be unified they have to come together. "When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore are the founders of human civilization." - Daniel Webster

The economy is struggling because they are not able to make money. During the war farmers were growing crops to give to the soldiers; but after the war farmers couldn't sell crops. One farmer named Shay; started a rebellion because the farmers couldn't pay of loans they got to grow the crops. "The spectors of debtors jail... hovered close by." - Daniel Shay

The government is run by a council of 435 members in the house of representatives. The leader is a president by the name of Andrew Jackson. The Supreme Court has a board of 9 members.

Minstrel music is very disrespectful to me. Singing about the struggles of being an African-American is wrong. Slaves have it hard because they are working nonstop. If they are free they have to get a document that says they are free. "I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more if I knew they were slaves." - Harriet Tubman

The music in America the music is based on social class. The high social classes listen to classical music. They dance to the classic music. Patriots like Samuel Adams listen to patriotic music like you would here in pubs. And slaves, they would sing spirituals while they were working in the field picking cotton or planting crops. Slave owners would sing and listen to minstrel songs. The songs would make fun of the way slaves spoke, looked, and the clothes they would wear. "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy." Ludwig Beethoven

Literature in America is fantastic. My personal favorite is Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving. They have poets, tall tales, geographical stories, and autobiographies.

If not reciporated, it will flow back and soften and purifey the heart". - Washington Irving
