1776
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”-Jefferson
The Declaration of Independence -

1798
The Sedition Act is passed by Congress to quell criticism of the government’s
undeclared naval war with France.

How?
![Page 5: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
“The Sedition Act made it a crime to publish ‘false, scandalous, and
malicious writing’ against the government or its officials. “
![Page 6: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
…hey Congress
Ever hear of the First
Amendment?
![Page 7: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights, passed only nine years earlier, guaranteed citizens the
FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
![Page 8: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Did this stop the government from jailing newspaper editors and others
who criticized the country?
![Page 9: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
NO
![Page 10: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1831
After the passing of the 1830 Indian Removal Act, thousands of Native Americans are forced by the U.S. government to leave their homes
and migrate west of the Mississippi River.
![Page 11: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why?
![Page 12: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To gain possession of Native American land, of coarse.
![Page 13: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
By 1837 more than 47,000 Native Americans had been forced into the
West.
![Page 14: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
However, not all Native Americans went peaceably. The Seminole tribe
engaged American troops in a bloody war that lasted seven years (1835 –
42).
![Page 15: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Thousands were killed.
![Page 16: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1942
Following the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor, the U.S. began relocating
Japanese Americans into “War Relocation Camps.”
![Page 17: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
120,000 people were forced out of their homes for fear that their loyalties to
America were not absolute.
![Page 18: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why would the government doubt the loyalties of these people?
![Page 19: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Only because of their Japanese heritage.
![Page 20: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
So…
…why am I pointing out all of these events?
![Page 21: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Think I’m committing treason?
![Page 22: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Or, perhaps, just being a bit unpatriotic?
![Page 23: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Well before you pull out the tar and feathers just listen.
![Page 24: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
I don’t criticize because I hate, but because I love.
![Page 25: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Think of me as America’s nagging housewife.
![Page 26: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Change is born from criticism.
![Page 27: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Or think of it this way….
![Page 28: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
…every nation makes mistakes.
![Page 29: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
But the great ones are those who attempt to make amends.
![Page 30: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
And in 1988, President Reagan issued a formal apology for Japanese Internment
during World War II.
![Page 31: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
1.6 billion dollars worth of reparations were paid to those Japanese
Americans who were still living.
![Page 32: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Does this erase past injustice?
![Page 33: The United States Of America](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5559c527d8b42aaa6f8b5306/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
But it helps.
