5. Is the United States very nice to everyone ?

5.1. As i was reading the articles i have to a conclusion that the United States always try to have it their way and force people to listen to them. They let themselves in to take over a country and states.

6. Does the United States really care about their people?

6.1. The articles made me react to some stories i did not know about. The history of 1776-1861 made me realize how the United States did not care about people. They only cared about themselves. They did not care about Mexicans, African or Native Americans. I felt that these people felt unwanted in the United States but were forced to live how the United States was making them. Mexicans and Native Americans were force to change their homelands to a different style and African Americans were treated bad because of their color.
