You've looked at several different elements of colonial life: the experiences of women and people of African descent, people's demand for a greater voice in government, and a widespread interest in religion. Which of these elements most reminds you of American life today? Put another way, what elements of today's American culture remind you of the country's colonial past? Write a paragraph that explains your choice, and be specific about why you see this similarity.

In the United States, a large portion of the population is deeply religious, and this has a colonial origin, since an important percentage of the people who immigrated to the U.S. in the colonial period were part of religious miniorities like the quakers, the pilgrims, or the presbyterians.

In the United States, African Americans are still poorer in comparison with White Americans, and part of the reason is the legacy of slavery.

Since African Americans could not own property in colonial times (they were themselves considered to be property), they have had less time to accumulate wealth than their European-descent counterparts.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
