The struggles that the Americans were undergoing during that Regan 1980 run for president were not indicative of who Americans considered themselves to be; rather, masses of people felt marginalized and crippled because of low income or no income, and inflation suggested that as a collective ...

The idea of slavery for many people is the images of black men in cotton plantations, working a whole day for no pay. The trade of African people for lifetimes of slavery is the other embedded idea of slavery to many people living in Canada and United States.

However, as the years progressed, restrictions were imposed by the government due to the fear of these immigrants and eventually, due to the onset of illegal immigration. Reforms left and right were implemented to sustain America’s security, economy and ...
