Revolutions in U.S. history
Throughout American history, we have had many revolutions. We have had the American revolution, African-American revolution, and the Women's rights revolution. Every revolution has had an ideology behind it. Although these revolutions have been for different causes, their supporters can have the same ideology. Three of the writers we studied in this unit for each of these revolutions were Thomas Jefferson, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth. I believe that these writers possessed the same ideology behind their cause. All three believed that God gave all men and women equal rights and they would fight against the power of their oppressors against all odds to attain these God-given rights. I think this is an American ideology because this is the ideology that all Americans - from different races, religions, and cultural and ethnic backgrounds -- believe in and abide by.Thomas Jefferson was one of the founding fathers of our country. He was a big part of the American Revolution against Great Britain. He wrote The Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 to declare the freedom and independence of the American colonies from the British King.

Another important revolution in the history of our country was the African-American revolution (note: American Anti-Slavery movement). One of the great writers during the African-American revolution and the time of slavery was Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born in Tuckahoe, Maryland, close to the year 1817. He was born, much like other Black children around him, as a slave, and grew up in the harsh cruelties of the Southern slavery system. He never got to meet his father, and barely knew his mother. Douglass saw many atrocities being committed against him and his race at the Plantation. He saw other slaves being sold off for money. He saw other slaves being separated by their loved ones. He saw other slaves being brutally whipped and beaten by their slaveholders. He also received many of these brutal treatments from his masters, many of which would be unimaginable to a normal person now or even then. I believe that the ideology of these revolutionaries is an "American" ideology. Everyone in the United States believes that they should have equal rights, regardless or race, sex, or religion. This is one of the reasons for the great number of immigrants the United States has received and still receives from foreign countries. Many foreigners come to the United States as refugees from other countri
