Sacrifices in the Making of the United States

I have been taught from nursery school through my senior year of high school that America is a country governed by one of the greatest constitutions in the world. As a nation, America is the symbol of freedom and equality to the rest of world, much of which is still ravaged by human rights injustices and oppressive governments. We can take pride in the fact that we are citizens of a country that has been impacted by civil rights leaders such as Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King, Jr. and led by presidents like John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Ronald Reagan. America is the strongest power in the world, and the American president is the most powerful individual on the planet. This is not a power obtained through oppression but because we are a nation marked by courage, ambition, and intelligence.
