The
USA has one of the most
convoluted and interesting stories from all continents, combining two
populations. The first one was a country that was placed on the ground north of
America, which contained Native Americans, which stand on those lands for
thousands of years. Through the famous Christopher Columbus, Europeans began to
settle over the ocean, the plains and near rivers, full of natural treasures
that caused a great interest for our continent neighbours. Initially Europeans
formed colonies, especially English colonies which then formed states, and
after the formation of states and their unification followed, resulting the USA.
But a more detailed analysis, the
unification was a complicated and tough process because of the different
mentality of the American states. America was divided into North, which was
against slavery, and South, which was pro slavery. Slavery was a very cruel and
severe phenomenon most endured by the
colour Africans which were taken by force on slaves’ ships and put to forced
labor, without having any right. After
the famous Civil War, slavery was removed and people of colour were named US
citizens, but a very bad fact was keeping the racist sentiments that some
Americans have preserved today.
Dance
as Liberation:
More recently, the USA has become “the USA,
the country of opportunities “, so this vast country and prosper economically
came to accept both legal and slightly illegal all kind of people, from Mexican,
Spanish, Italians and possibly from all countries. Contemporary racist problems
against Latinos and people of color, problems that should not exist in a state
of such power and global importance. Unfortunately, many Americans possess and
wish to propagate the idea of racism and want to remove these people from
so-called “holy land”.
At the democratic presidential elections
in 2016, the most important candidates were Hillary Clinton, the wife of former
president Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump, a notorious tycoon known for his
nationalism.
Unfortunately, the one who won the
election was Donald Trump, not necessarily because of a policy for the prosperity
of the USA, but for the support given by citizens in exchange for promises of a
racist and extremist behaviour targeting direct attack on immigrants in the USA.
He wishes as stated in several televised conferences and official statements,
more joking or more seriously, build a huge wall between Mexico and the USA,
which separates the two countries and send all Latinos where they belong. This
is just one example of the dirty war that Trump took to win the elections, he
getting to say in a debate indirectly that a woman has no place at the head of
the White House and when he will be the president Hillary Clinton will be
imprisoned.
With
a politically weak plan for citizens and a large and thriving one for industry,
with the voters’ support and love, which are driven by common characters that the
former Southerners had, Trump has managed to come out the winner and now is
45th president of the USA.
In
conclusion, I believe that this year's elections were influenced by historical
characters that unfortunately have remained today in the blood of American
citizens.
Due
to the fear of having a woman president, which would support the person itself,
not the nationality, now one of the world’s powers is led by a man that is based on evil
historical characters and racism, for which other shed their blood to remove
them.
