The gift of education, technology, safety, and protection against illnesses. Without these gifts, America wouldn’t be the same America it is today. It would be chaos. Illness mass killing. Terrorists bombing. People wouldn’t be able to read or be able to do simple math. Thankfully, America’s Founding Fathers had given us these gifts, and I’m glad for it. Many have left their countries for a chance at a better life in America, to get the gifts that America is offering. Think about your life.

Without the intervention of France and England in America’s land and politics during 1795 to 1810, America would not have been able to thrive on the harsh global scale. Specifically, the political, social and economic events of the XYZ Affair, Alien and Sedition Acts, Louisiana Purchase and the despised Embargo of 1807 became turning points which would decide if America was strong enough to survive as a country.
