Write a letter to the founding fathers. Tell them at least 3 things that are different and similar to their time.

Dear Founding Fathers;

Our country, much like previous times, is divided. We can only hope to take your past examples and implement measures to close this gaping chasm that has since spread between our people. Our society, though different in the way in which we dress and behave, is very similar in our basic princiapls. We still believe in equality, thogh some may be trying to belittle that law, just as much as we believe in the greatness of America. We have, however, lost sight of your warnings about foreign policies. We have begun to mess with other countries, sometimes to our downfall. Our country, so small and inncoent before, has since gained a knowledge and power rivaled by not to many other countries. Our country, despite our differences, is just as great as when you first declared the unification of these 50 states.
