We fought a bloody Civil War to abolish slavery and preserve the Union. but we remained a house divided and unequal by law for another century. We advanced across the continent in the name of freedom. yet in so doing we pushed Native Americans off their land. often crushing their culture and their livelihood. Our Statue of Liberty welcomes poor. tired. huddled masses of immigrants to our borders. but each new wave has felt the sting of discrimination. In World War II. Japanese Americans fought valiantly for freedom in Europe. taking great casualties. while at home their families were herded into internment camps.
