There is a lot of liberty for everyone because there were a lot of people who fought for it. Starting from our first president George Washington he battled great Britain for freedom from the British king. George Washington won the war and help us get our independents and free from the British.
George Washington wanted to stay natural that was his retiring wish as president.
There were a lot of hard work for freedom. People actually died for freedom. Slaves fought for freedom the most of all people. Slaves wanted to be free all the time and tries to escape for there freedom so they get shot down or captured. President Lincoln didn't want slaves so he tried to make slave have there freedom. The south didn't like that so the north and the south had a civil war from slavery. President Abraham Lincoln won the war and slaves were free from the south caused by the 14th Amendment.
Even though slavery was over there were a lot of segregation in a lot of places in the south.
People Remember the leaders Martin. Luther. King, Malcom X , Rosa Parks and other civil rights leaders that stop segregation. African Americans were separated from whites from schools Resturaunts and buses as well. The Jim crow laws was so messed up that people died from fighting for there rights.Couple years later segregation stop people were treated equally and learned equally and lived free and had free speech.
