Issues in America
Throughout history America has changed dramatically, but there is one thing we all can agree on is that we want to achieve some form of peace. Meaning equality between all and no wars. The only problem is "we all have the desire to do things according to what we want, (www.AmericaNeedsGod.org)" which is the reason why we can't see everyone equal or stop wars. Instead we all need to be "uniting under a common good, (www.AmericaNeedsGod.org)" through God.

1947-91
The Roaring Twenties
This may have been seen as a prosperous time for America but as many already know it didn't end like that. Because most people during that time lacked the ability to plan ahead with financial choices, it caused America to go in a massive debt.
Civil Rights Movement
Civil Rights is something everyone should definitely have, but if everyone saw that during this time, this movement wouldn't have even been needed. Because we didn't have an equal frame of mind it caused people to recognize this and stand against it.
Cold War
Another example of where we couldn't see a goal equally. This war may have been bloodless but that doesn't mean there wasn't conflict. Again as humans we were unable to see how our actions caused the world to create superpower countries forcing others to join whether they wanted to or not.

Meaning
The American Flag represents America as a whole and the figures are the people of America. The Cross represents God and how people need him in America, which is why it stands in the center gathering everyone's attention.
The People
The colors on the people represent multiple things. First meaning is the diversity that people carry in America. Everyone has a different background and Heritage. Second meaning is that colors in art can represent positive emotions such as: Green- Freshness, Peace Orange-Vigilance, Interest Red-Strength Passion Blue-Loyalty, Trust Yellow- Joy, Energy. Third meaning, just as humans have positive emotions, they also carry negative ones, and in some cases carry these emotions to God to show hatred towards him. Green-Envy, rebellious Orange- anxious worry Red - anger, annoyance Blue- grief, sadness Yellow- cowardliness, dishonesty
The Cross
Represents the sacrifice Jesus made for us by dying for our sins so that we may have a way into heaven because we aren't perfect beings. The color white represents purity and no flaws.
The Flag
The ground or soil that all Americans stand on. Represents the U.S.
