Patriots Pen Essay

Author's Note: This topic was really hard for me to write about because i'm not really into American history like this. I'm not saying I don't like it i'm just not that experiences with it. But anyways here is my patriots pen essay and our topic was "What would you tell America's Founding Fathers?" Hope you like it!


Dear people of America,

I’m grateful for all that the founding fathers have done to make our country great and one of the best, heck they basically start the country. There are however a couple things that I would have changed or done to make it even better. But right now I am grateful for all we have. This country is great and amazing, and I am proud to be an American.

American’s are thankful everyday for all that you have accomplished. However there are some people who hate our country because of all the stuff that we can do. We have freedom of speech, freedom of religion and i'm sure that there are many more reasons as to why other countries are jealous. Our country is great and the men who started such a great country need some credit. It wasn’t just George Washington, it was also: John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Hancock. I know your thinking thats a lot of people but they made our country strong. Although they are not perfect like Thomas Jefferson, he had slaves when he became a founding father. It wasn’t until Abraham Lincoln came along and stopped slavery. Slavery was a bad thing but, it did help us with the plantations but all people sould be equally not better than others. Slavery showed that white men and women were better than black people and it shouldn’t be that way.

Slavery was one of main flaws but there aren't just flaws there are huge success. Such as us becoming one nation blacks and whites. In one of my favorite lady gaga songs she sings “No matter gay, straight, or bi, Lesbian........No matter black, white or beige”. It really doesn’t matter who your are or were you came from all that matters is if you proud to be an American.
