The regionalism in the United States played an essential role in composition of group and personal identity among black communities. The black people in the South were well aware of their bad social position, but they had no other choice, because any attempts to improve this situation resulted in severe punishments. However, in early 19th century, the Northern states started huge protests against slavery. In 1820 the Missouri compromise divided the country into slave states and free states. After 1820 organized groups formed ways to help slaves escape and become free in the North. Some Black people tried to escape on their own. All those events helped to form personal identity of American black community.

One of the many, many problems Jeb Bush faces in his quest for the Oval Office is his break from Republican orthodoxy on president Ronald Reagan's legacy. In 2012, Bush told a group of reporters that, in today's GOP, Reagan "would be criticized for doing the things that he did"— namely, working with Democrats to pass legislation. He added that Reagan would struggle to secure the GOP nomination today.
Bush was lambasted by fellow conservatives for his comments, but he had a point: If you judge him by the uncompromising small government standards of today's GOP, Reagan was a disaster. Here are a few charts that show why.
Under Reagan, the national debt almost tripled, from $907 billion in 1980 to $2.6 trillion in 1988:
Reagan ended his 1988 farewell speech<span> with the memorable line, "man is not free unless government is limited." The line is still a rallying cry for the right wing, but the speech came at the end of a long period of government expansion. Under Reagan, the federal workforce increased by about 324,000 to almost 5.3 million people. (The new hires weren't just soldiers to fight the communists, either: uniformed military personnel only accounted for 26 percent of the increase.) In 2012, the federal government employed almost a million fewer people than it did in the last year of Reagan's presidency.</span>
The concept of "normalcy" was based on nostalgia for an earlier America. The idea of nostalgia was new in Americans and since America was a new country, the forefathers wanted progress and did not want to look back in the past mentality.
