AMERICA IS...
PRIVILEGED
We've come such a long way
HISTORICAL EVIDENCE
Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President, abolished slavery
Model T, the affordable car that everyone could afford
October 1st, 1908
Marriage equality was passed!
EXPLANATIONS
When Henry Ford created his assembly line on making the most affordable car out there during the 20's time era, it created leisure for families to get away from the big cities and take a drive. We were so fortunate and privileged to be able to have cars that were cheap and that everyone could have for their own pleasure. His creation helped evolve production companies of items that were a necessity thrive into big things. Today, we still use assembly lines and are privileged to own cars. Not everyone has the money to invest in a vehicle, but it is definitely a privilege to own one. Ford is still around today, providing the best deals to make our cities a better place. Obviously, they have competition with other dealers, but Ford can say they were the first car company to ever perfect the assembly line and still use Tom Ford's creations in present day. In our eyes, it is a blessing to see a car in the show room all put together, and not having to assemble it.
The day that Marriage Equality was passed, our whole nation was stoked and super supportive. Finally being able to conquer that, was a relief from not being able to feel equal or loved because of the gender people loved. It took a big step in our country to reach out to have something so blocked away, finally be accepted. We are privileged to love anyone we want. Some countries and religions forbid it to ever happen, but the United States made it happen. And yes, some states did not accept this new policy, but just about over 40 states committed to having these rights. This proves our privileges and how we can fight for what's right. We've done it in our past for passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and protesting for the Vietnam War to end, and in the end, we were successful. The people involved in getting this bill top be passed, made history, proving our rights and our privileges to the world.
