Wood is bewildered by the fact that an equal society ...

Introduction: Independence for any nation gives its people rights that support their existence and freedoms in the country. During the times of the 1770s, numerous events took place that changed the entire landscape of the relationship between Americans and their colonists.

Racial profiling is the targeting of a particular race for a particular crime. The practice was rampant from the time before the Civil War. African-Americans frisked by police from the street irrespective of their status (free or enslaved) were a common practice.

The practice is unwelcome with minority communities since it often results in unfair treatment.

During the American Revolution, many women took active part in both the American and British armies. Apart from direct participation, many women also contributed to the revolution indirectly. In the 18th century America, women’s role in the society was limited to the boundary of home as child bearer and home maker. Politics, military activities and even social activities were almost 100% an all-male affair (Brooks 2013). Therefore, it was not easy for women in that era to directly participate in the American Revolution. Still, thousands of women participated. The American Revolution started when England put in place ...

It is these settlements that led to the transformation of the physical and cultural landscape of America (Vile 78).

These European powers divided America amongst themselves, displacing the native red Indians as they settled in various areas. The colonization led rise to new civilizations, cultures and later on states that translated to the merging of the European traditions and Native American institutions and people. ...
