merica was founded on the principle that 
all people have the same right to live in 
freedom and be happy. Its main law, 
the Constitution, states that every person must be 
treated equally. But for most of the country’s 
history, this hasn’t been the case.
After the United States earned independence 
from Britain, for example, it continued to allow slavery. After the Civil War, 
when slavery was outlawed and slaves were declared free, African-American 
people did not have the same rights as white people. In fact, until less than fifty 
years ago, African-American people were usually separated from white people. 
They went to separate schools, slept in separate hotels, and ate in separate 
restaurants. They could not vote for the president and could not get the same 
jobs as white people.
American women, too, have been treated differently than American men. 
Until 1920, women did not have the right to vote. Until the mid-1960s, they 
could be denied jobs due to their gender. Despite amendments to the 
Constitution, many women and people who belong to minority groups still feel 
unfairly treated in the US today.
US leaders admit the country has made mistakes in the past. However, they 
point out that because of the laws written in the Constitution, there is always 
hope of change. Other countries don’t have this hope, so America still provides 
the fairest opportunity in the world.
