The conflicts that many people have agreed upon have proven that giving up is never the answer. For example, the quote “Sing a song filled with the faith that the dark past has taught us” (Johnson) captures how, regardless of what the past holds, the future is what should be the focus. The past holds many of the answers for this country to succeed in the years to come. “We have come, walking our path through the blood of the slaughtered” (Johnson) has a very strong meaning for everyone who lives in the United States. For example, this country managed to nominate an African American as president. For all the people whose ancestors suffered pain, this was one of the greatest American dreams ever realized. “To the land of the free and the home of the brave. (Key)” this quote will always serve as a motto for everyone to always remember where this country started from. It also shows that without all the soldiers who fought for our freedom this country would not be free. This quote also represents the value that anyone who enters the United States seeks, freedom. No one should ever fear any other human being as everyone should be treated within the borders of the United States
