Economic Impact Of 9/11 On The United States

Introduction Rudolph Giuliani once said, "The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom." (n.d.) This quote demonstrates the destruction the attacks on 9/11 may have broken people but the attack brought people together and made the U.S. better together.
