“Daughters of liberty” The video of the Daughters of Liberty was very interesting because it shows that women are becoming more independent and trying to fit in with society. The men were known for doing everything like running business and being involved in politics.

That to me is what really shown women empowerment and how committed

“Man loves liberty‚ even if he does not know that he loves it…” José Martí’s word have never rang more true. There never been a more liberty-loving generation than my own‚ and never one that was so far from understanding how to achieve it. I am regularly encountered by those who are genuinely believers of expanded personal freedoms‚ yet tout a system that not only temporarily represses personal freedoms‚ but if allowed to act in the long run‚ fully extinguishes them. Many times‚ for the sake of civility

In Civil Disobedience‚ Henry David Thoreau encouraged Americans to “cast your whole vote‚ not a strip of paper merely‚ but your whole influence” to fight against the evil of slavery. I disagree with Henry Thoreau methods when John Brown did his raid on Harpers Ferry because Henry Thoreau says in Civil Disobedience to protest peacefully by disobeying a bad law‚ not taking hostages and hurting people. What John Brown did was wrong and should’ve taken a better route by protesting peacefully. Rosa Parks
