While the United States has frequently hailed
While the United States has frequently hailed itself as a “land of liberty” and “home of the free,” the meanings of “freedom” and “liberty” have been deeply contested throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and have sometimes resulted in violence. Write aboutthree of the following episodes in U.S. history and explain how conflicts over the meaning of freedom shaped how various groups of Americans responded to these events: 1) the Civil War; 2) Reconstruction; 3) the conquest of the American West; 4) the movement for Chinese exclusion; 5) the annexation of the Philippines; 6) labor strikes; 7) World War I.
