Shelved under Election, English 20

The United States of America has come a fair distance. From slavery to being president. This break I believe will be for the betterment of the people of the United States. The election on November 4 within the USA  has sent a huge message to the entire world. Even as Canadian citizen’s my family and I watched the election intently to see what the people would decide, Because what happens within the United States effects us, Canadians.

I believe this is justice finally after 200 years, the African-Americans are truly accepted into the United States and seen as equals. Justice has been displayed. By justice I mean that in Virginia in 1607 slavery in the Untied States started, and now in 2008 the United States we have a African-American president. Justice I believe is a form a of fairness. People may disagree with Barack Obama in the White House but this change will hopefully be a positive effect not only for the United States but for the entire world.

I truly believe that the United States’ 2008 election has accurately represented how hard justice is to achieve. The election showed that a person’s integrity can cause a huge change.

Barack Obama is the new change in the American Government because now for over 200 years the African Americans finally have a voice in the government. It will be interesting to see in a few years if he does change the American ways of treating the African Americans. Time will only tell. Keep up the good work tamara.

Slavery and racism have always been a huge controversy in the states and with Obama elected as president, I can only imagine the reactions of some people in the states. African Americans are not as respected as Caucasians in the United States, but I believe this shows the progression of the states towards more acceptance and respect.
