American National Anthem Research Paper
The dictionary definition of freedom is The state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. But what is true freedom. In The American National Anthem, it claims that America is the “land of the free”, but what does that legitimately means. When you think of freedom, you think of the idea of being free,but that's not the case. If we are free, why do we have a government that watches our every move we compose on the internet. If we are free, why do we pay so many taxes and bills. If we are free, why do we have a lot of ridiculous laws that we have to follow every day. The point is that we are not actually free. Yes, we do have more freedom than other parts of the world, but we don’t have total freedom.

Many people view freedom different for others.
Some people view freedom as the idea that no one can tell anyone what to do. This is not the case for American’s consists of freedom. You may not know this but, the American government is always watching us. It’s a positive and a negative concept because you want the government to track down the outrageous people, but at the same time you don’t want the government to look at your personal texts,emails, and social media accounts. At least the American government doesn't tell us what and what not to do/watch on television or internet. In North Korea, the government control everything you do, there is no freedom there. They probably don’t know the meaning of the word freedom. The American Revolutionary war started on April 19, 1775 and ended on September 3, 1783. The American Revolutionary war was a war to gain freedom from England. The colonies were tired of England what to do. Even though the main reason of moving to the new world was to try to get England off their backs. The colonies were not yet free from England, so they started rebelling groups. One of these rebellious group was called The Sons of Liberty who participated in the Boston Tea Party with Samuel Adams, Josiah Quincy, and John Hancock. The colonies wanted complete freedom from the
British. When I consider freedom, I picture a life at sea. There is no one to boss you around, you can do whatever your heart desires. And the best part is that who is going to stop you. There is no officer of the law at sea, it will take the coast guard way too long to get to your location. During the age of pirates, many men (and some women dressed like a man) set out to sea for a life of adventure,gold, and freedom. Even though pirates have a captain. If the crew loath their captain than they can have what's called a Mutiny. Mutiny is when you overthrow your ship’s captain. Pirates were the people with the most freedom in my eyes.
