Analysis Of My Historical Bumper Sticker
My historical bumper sticker is based on some of the states wanting a Bill of Rights added to the Constitution. They wanted a Bill of Rights to make sure the government was not able to take away any of the people's rights or gain too much power. My slogan addresses the states', for example Massachusetts', point of view. It says, "The Bill of Rights is Right for U.S." which can be read as "United States" or "us" showing the states are unified over wanting amendments and that they believe a Bill of Rights is what the Constitution needs. I chose to do red, white and blue coloration because if a Bill of Rights was promised then the states would ratify the Constitution, therefore making them a part of the United States of America whose colors are

    What do you consider when you hear the words red, white, and blue? Do you naturally think about the flag of the United States of America? Our flag, as we probably see it today, is not the first flag with stars and stripes to be made. After the original thirteen colonies declared independence in 1776, Betsy Ross would sew the first U.S. Flag displaying the colors red, white and blue. The First Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, changed the shape of the stars from the circle pattern of the Ross design to the block shape we recognize today. Congress would give meaning to the colors of the flag in 1777. White would imply purity and innocence; red would be hardiness and valor; blue would become vigilance, perseverance…

    The major difference between and Activist and an Antinomian is that the Activist will get involved to either change things, understand things or to make things work, while the Antinomian will choose to understand things by leaving society and its rules to get close to nature again. The Activist’s slogan is “get involved”. The Antinomian’s slogan is “get out of town, get lost”.…

    Most of these offensive mascots draw on the Euro-American depiction of American Indian cultures. They are viewed as brutal third-world warriors detached from modern society continuously dancing, yelping, and banging on drums. On the other hand, rather than a mascot being seen as offensive to some, the University of Mississippi has a flag. The Confederate flag has been a controversial icon since its conception during the Civil War. To southerners, it is seen as a symbol of pride and history, but to much of the rest of the country, it brings up thoughts of prejudice and racism towards African Americans. Some main reasons for this association are because this flag has been not only found at Klu Klux Klan rallies, but also at general protests against federal desegregation laws. (King)…

    A century and a half ago, our nation faced a civil war. More than 620,000 Americans lost their lives at the hands of other Americans, which was subsequently equal to the total number of American deaths in all other wars combined (O’keefe). The reason for this senseless war, the Confederate States of the South wanted to keep African Americans enslaved. As Southerners fought and killed to defend slavery, they did so under the confederate flag, which consisted of the colors red, white, and blue. Terrorist groups like the Ku Klux Klan and many other white supremacist groups, led hanise crimes against African Americans which included: lynching, burning crosses, and mass murders, while using the Confederate Flag as a symbol of “unity”. A flag that stands for hatred and white supremacy is not only allowed but glorified. The confederate emblem should, not only be taken out of the Mississippi state flag, but the confederate flag should be banned from the United States.…

    The document I have read, States’ Rights, Depending on the Issue by Albert R. hunt has many different topics and many different views. I have decided to pick the topic of the Southern Confederacy flag being flown in many southern states. The two points that this article offers about the Southern Confederacy flag is that, the flag may be flown because it is to the closest government's decision to decide, which is yes, and or that flag should not be flown because of what it “really” stands for according to many African American citizens, a racist sign of hatred towards their people. This topic has recently been extremely popular because some people call it “patriotism of their local region” and some consider it “a racist reminder that brought African Americans a time of unjust pain and neglection.” Overall, this topic remains such a problem because there are not only two views, but those views are not just different because of saying who's right or wrong, but it is a stand point of saying yay or nay of violence towards African American citizens during America’s pastime.…

    Pledge Allegiance to the flag. The flag represents that we have freedom in speech and equal rights for women and men. I am proud because I have equal rights as a citizen and I am able to go to school unlike other nations. I am also proud that I can have my own religion without having someone else force me into a different one. The flag stands for the republic, which is a democratic government elected by the citizens of the United States. Our republic is different then some other nations,so we should be glad that we, as citizens, can vote for leaders.

    Within the United States of America, arguments, involving the Confederate Flag, are solved every sngle day. However, some controversies have managed to carry on from the 1800’s until present day without any solution. The text and symbolic meaning behind the “Confederate Flag” is a perfect example. The Confederate Flag is one of America’s most embattled symbolic controversies. Created in 1861in a battle between the South, Confederates, and the North, Union, two men by the name P.G.T. Beauregard and Congressman William P. Miles designed and created a flag that would represent the true southern pride and demands that would not only bring about conflict with one half of the nation but also with our American society today. The South wanted to fulfill their demands of a new government with a victory, but the North opposed that thought. Today, people in our society misunderstand and misinterpret the true meaning behind the Confederate Flag and what it represents. People have came to believe that the Confederate Flag represents slavery in the 19th century, but in actuality it represents people wanting to govern themselves.…
