Except from the Native American Indian tribes inhabiting before the white settler arrived and other ethnic groups came to America voluntarily for better lives The African- Americans were unluckily brought to United States to be sold as slavery At that time, enslavement was contradiction because of contrary of traditional values of United States: freedom and equality of opportunity Therefore, it led to split between sections: Southern, in which people viewed slavery as a tool for economy; Northern, in which chose to make slavery against the law A minor of northern claimed that slavery was not acceptable in freedom country and had to be abolished However, a larger amount found them as a threat which could take away their economic freedom Until 1860, Abraham Lincoln, trying to ban enslavement became the president of United States; the southern states left the Union to form a new nation and meant the Civil War, which the North was finally victorious and ended the slavery However, the African- Americans could not still readily assimilate due to discrimination, especially most of southern states, in which the black people weren’t behaved equally as the white From until now, in the heart of United States, the AfricanAmericans still stand for bias hundred years ago left For example, particularly Trayvon Martin, a black boy, left the grocery store after buying some refreshments to go home Having wearing Hooded Jackets, he was suspected for doing something wrong despite not guilty behaviour He was shot by Zimmerman, the policeman of that area Zimmerman was prosecuted as murder but acquitted with reason “self-defence” Another highlight was the violence of racism obeying groups in Charlottesville, Virginia Obviously, despite standing the same position, the black people still doesn’t have equal behaviour in front of justice or laws Having not brought about a deep change in souls and minds of white American although United States Supreme Court’s declaration, the black leader determined to end racial segregation and discrimination Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of important Black leaders whose goal and ideas were largely developed from basic values and make black a larger part in American culture And other leaders like Malcolm X, claimed a rejection of American values because it was nothing more than culture He believed that the black must separate from whites and build their own society However, most AfricanAmericans continued to look to King as their leader By the way, we can see that King’s actions had affect positively when civil rights laws in the 1960s removing racial segregation in the South and barriers that prevented black people from voting Relatively, King is the inspiration for non-white Americans struggle against the racism And now it’s clear that black people has a vital position in America when many the blacks have achieved significant status in all facets of that country like Obama, Steve Harvey, Michael Jordan, Richard Wright, etc Thanks to civil rights laws of the 1960s, the African- Americans have a better chance to assimilate Besides, the bias and prejudice of whites reduced Black people became a part of the country, and had a dramatically high position in everywhere, event in Congress However, there was still a gulf between the races, segregation expressions were still there They could feel separateness so that someone started to advocate the broad idea of Malcolm X such as Spike Lee or Luis Farrakhan who form an organization “Million March Man” His angry voice appealed to many young blacks, who are searching for their separated identity, and the one will validate their contribution Fortunately, people with good faith, both black and white, are working together for their own pursuit Of course, we cannot prevent the segregation completely because it will take many years for USA to change their view about black people However, generally, the blend in lifestyle, working, activity between the races has been relevant It will be the future of USA, when blend between the races complete, it will be the strong country not only about economy, army, science but also national united spirit By the 1920s, the government decided to close the border to mass immigrant However, they greatly enrich the cultural diversity of the nation Ultimately, they didn’t cause major change to system of government, enterprise or values However, in 1965, USA made a change that allow immigrant to come and eliminate all older laws Therefore, it meant the new challenge- large number of immigrants who are not Western or white, they come from Asia, Latin and Caribbean First time United States has seriously illegal immigrants There are many question were put, what the impact will be on society? Can American expand enough to offer for them? The traditional values will be changeable? Etc But one thing cannot deny is that immigrants had greatly contributed to all aspect of American society They created the unique characteristic in USA: multi-ethnic We can call USA as the first universal nation, in which can be viewed as a mosaic- picture made up of many tiny pieces with different colours However, due to unpredictable elements at present, especially threat of terrorist Donald Trump, the current president of USA, has sign the explicit law called travel ban or Executive Order 13769, which restrict entry to USA ...
