ReplyDeletewhat is an american? Is it someone who was born in the Americas or someone who fought to surrvive and withstand the worlds harshes blows to live in America maybe even fight for land? I believe an American is someone who fights for what they believe in. Pilgrims are a definition of that, in my opinion as to they were imigrants searching to escape the religious persicution in England. Roger williams, believed in religions toleration, the seperation of church and state and the rights for native americans. I Think that America is a melting pot of religions, ethnicitys and beliefs. Roger Williams and the Pilgrims stuck up for what they believed in and fought for their rights with also the acceptance of others. And thats what i think an American is.
ReplyDeleteAn American to me is some who stands up for their beliefs, even if it means their lives. Someone who has pride and is willing to fight for their people. The pilgrims fought for their land and people for a better life to them. Roger Williams stood up for his religion n helped other religious minorities. That to me, is what an American is.
ReplyDeleteAn American is a person who is not to afraid to stand in what he believes in. The Pilgrims lefted England because how the religious pratices were held. They went to North America to worship freely. They were friends with the local Wampanoag tribe. The Wampanoag helped the Pilgrims how to plant food. The Pligrims and the Wampanoag gather their harvest and had the first Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteRoger Williams came to America in 1631 which he landed in Boston. He criticize the Puritan leaders. He was to get banished from Boston but instead he fled to go to land south of Boston. The land he bought from the Narragansets tribe. He called the land Providence, which is now in Rhode Island
