I believe the early United States wasn’t a land of opportunity nor equality. Although we are transitioning to becoming one we aren’t fully there yet . When i think of the Early United States I think of the Royal colony/ Trustee era . I think of british colonization . After we were finally able to gain our independence, we engaged in immoral acts due to our ethnocentric modes of thinking. We adapted slaves in the south and treated them horribly . We caused generational trauma, African American disenfranchisement, and much more . Also when the constitution was made the first amendment right was Free speech . Our second amendment right was the right to bear arms . I happen to notice how the first five amendments barely have anything to do with human rights. The term the “land of opportunity” and “equality” only applied to white men . During those days even white women barely had rights . America was an anti-semitic, racist country in that time period . Many people weren’t treated fairly including the Native Americans who were on the land before it was “discovered”. America was not fair for all. It was a land of opportunity for white men. In 1892 when the pledge of allegiance was written it stated “With liberty and justice for all” which was never and is currently not the case .

Bumek [7]

·The Battle of Midway was one of the most important naval battles of the Pacific Campaign of World War II. It was fought between the U.S. and Japanese navies on June 4-7, 1942. This battle turned the tide of the war in the Pacific in favor of the Americans.

·The Battle of the Philippine Sea (June 19–20, 1944) was a major naval battle of World War II that eliminated the Imperial Japanese Navy's ability to conduct large-scale carrier actions.

·As president, it was Harry Truman’s decision if the weapon would be used with the goal to end the war. “It is an awful responsibility that has come to us,” the president wrote. President Truman had four options: 1) continue conventional bombing of Japanese cities; 2) invade Japan; 3) demonstrate the bomb on an unpopulated island; or, 4) drop the bomb on an inhabited Japanese city. Truman ordered the bomb dropped on two Japanese cities (Hiroshima & Nagasaki). His decision created a controversy that is with us today.
