Our history is an amazing paradox; born of a precept establishing freedom and equality unlike any other nation prior to it, yet a vast majority of the people of this land, both native and transplanted, lived under the pall of discrimination. Our annals are rich with extraordinary triumphs of innovation in fields like transportation and industry forging new paths of technology. Reborn by the mind of Abraham Lincoln at the urging of 650,000 haunted souls who died on the field of battle attempting to assuage the millions who lived and died in bondage. Through it all and on until today and beyond, America lives on as a beacon of hope for the tired, poor, and huddled masses.
