<span>This idea is known as Manifest Destiny. It made American citizens believe that all the land in North America belonged to them and it was their God given right to claim it as their own.

Answer:

Hope this helps:

Explanation:

The documentary series you are about to view is the story of

how ordinary people with extraordinary vision redeemed

democracy in America. It is a testament to nonviolent passive

resistance and its power to reshape the destiny of a nation and

the world. And it is the chronicle of a people who challenged

one nation’s government to meet its moral obligation to

humanity.

We, the men, women, and children of the civil rights movement, truly believed that if we adhered to the discipline and

philosophy of nonviolence, we could help transform America.

We wanted to realize what I like to call, the Beloved

Community, an all-inclusive, truly interracial democracy based

on simple justice, which respects the dignity and worth of every

human being.

Central to our philosophical concept of the Beloved

Community was the willingness to believe that every human being has the moral capacity to respect

each other. We were determined to rise above the internal injuries exacted by discriminatory laws and

the traditions of an unjust society meant to degrade us, and we looked to a higher authority. We

believed in our own inalienable right to the respect due any human being, and we believed that government has more than a political responsibility, but a moral responsibility to defend the human rights

of all of its citizens.

When we suffered violence and abuse, our concern was not for retaliation. We sought to redeem

the humanity of our attackers from the jaws of hatred and to accept our suffering in the right spirit.

While nonviolence was, for some, merely a tactic for social change, for many of us it became a way of

life. We believed that if we, as an American people, as a nation, and as a world community, are to

emerge from our struggles unscarred by hate, we have to learn to understand and forgive those who

have been most hostile and violent toward us.

We must find a way to live together, to make peace with each other. And we were willing to put

our bodies on the line, to die if necessary, to make that dream of peaceful reconciliation a reality.

Because of the fortitude and conviction of thousands and millions of ordinary people imbued with a

dream of liberation, this nation witnessed a nonviolent revolution under the rule of law, a revolution

of values, a revolution of ideas.

irga5000 [103]
