Exploration and Discovery
One of the most common themes in US history is the theme of exploration. Our country was founded because of the European's thirst to know more. Our country expanded and added new states to the union because of exploration. We continued to explore, to push limits, to know what was not known, to push the boundaries. In this case, curiosity didn't kill the cat.
Diverse Opinions
The US for a long time has been home to a wide range of diverse opinions and practices. Since our founding, these opinions have sparked new laws, riots, and wars. Slavery, one of the most diverse out of these, deeply divided our nation, caused the Civil War, and still has repercussions today. Many different people had lots of opinions about the founding of our nation.
Loyalty to our Country
We've had a history of being loyal to our country. From the many different wars that we've had to the tons of political debates, all have been in what we thought the best interest of our country was.
Democracy and Freedom
Our nation was founded on a system of democracy and freedom. Ever since the Declaration of Independence, we've had a system of democracy in our government and had a Bill of Rights to protect our freedoms.
