Oxford Advanced
Learners Dictionary
(1997/ 1631)States that
united States of America
( USA) is large country
Situated in north America
(continent) consisting of 50
states and the district of Columbia. The United States of America were under
domination of Britain, they fought for their independence from Britain in American war of independence
of (1770s-1776) after seven years of American war people got independence with after experiencing how the American people
fought the British colonizer to liberate their country ,thus it acted as the
mode for the black slaves to do the same thus intensification of nationalistic
feelings among the black American slaves.
Civil
War of 1861-1865,American civil war should be remembered in united states
history because the war was the corner stone for the American. Blacks to begin
fighting for their liberation to slavery, It began in the northern states after some slaves
refused to continued working in the plantation as slaves.
Thereafter,
following the civil war congress passed three amendment to the constitution
which are the 13th amendments essential for the abolition of
slavery. The second amendment was the 14th amendment, this gave
former slaves citizenship and equal protection under the law. Lastly was the 15th
amendment that gave them right to vote.
Viola (1998; 404) says slaves were not
allowed to learn, to read , no to meet with other slaves. This habit led
African people in the new world like American particularly USA to live like the
one who have no history which look like a wind on a buffalo grass. Slave owners
feared that such activities, would lead slaves to escape or organize rebellion.
This system of discrimination and humiliation also put united states in a
history to be remembered.
Rodney (1972;82) explain that the economic
development of the united states
previously new world which means American including US itself were contributed
by black people during the 16th century. Black people were useful
for early accumulation of capital, but it is too rigid for individual
development . slave had to crude non breakable tools which held black
capitalist development of agriculture and industry. The northern portion of the
united states gained for more industrial benefits for slavery than the south
which, actually had the institutions on its soil. So united states history is
still remembered world wide particularly by black American slaves
for their economic contribution in development hence becoming the world super power.
United states is remembered in world history particularly
by African because, it’s the source were pan-Africanism were emerged from, pan - Africanism
is derived from two words “pan” means all and Africa referring to the
continent. Pan - Africanism can be simplified belief into the uniqueness and
spiritual unity of black people and acknowledgement of their right to self
determination in Africa and to be treated with dignity as equal in all parts of
the world. Among the key leaders indeed
pioneers of pan- Africanism , were Marcus Garvey and
W.E.Du-Bois;(Okoth,2006:311)
Brinkley(1995:618) says united states played a great role
both in world wars, that was the first world war of 1914-1918and the second
world war of 1939-1945. Before united states joined the war were a great
supplier of military weapons such as” inter continental ballistic
missiles”guns, and gun powder , foods and other human aids. But important thing
to remember particularly after the second world war was the use of nuclear bombs in Japan at
Nagasaki and Hiroshima where majority of people especially civilians dead and
others wounded and become homeless.
Moreover, black people contributed much US
Army in 1917 when she joined the first
world war. Africa American
soldiers were drafted into the army and navy well. And while most of them
performed relatively menial task on military bases in the united states, more than 50,000 went to France.
Viola(199:42) says that the Imitation of black American
culture by united states was among the things to remember history. Black people in the New World
contributed much on African religious beliefs in many part of the American, for
instance African rhythms can be heard in style of American music ranging from
Diexiland Jazz to delta blues and from rock and rock to reggae. Many of our
most inspiring public speaker leaders
such as Martin Luther king Jr. Mariam Wright Edelman and Jesse Jackson
have drawn on tradition that places great values on the power of the spoken
world
The
former president of united states known as Abraham Lincoln led the US to be
remembered in history . Lincoln the
former.16th president of the united states played a great role for
his government rule of law.
During American civil war of 1861-1865 slavery
was abolished by president Lincoln on 1st january1861 which enabled
many black to be recruited in the army, this at least removed segregation among
black American and the whites American hence development of democracy which are
still remembered particularly by the Africans,
United states
remember in history
as the world
super power that
resulted decolonization of
African countries After
the world war
11 of 1945,
United States played
a great role of
decolonization process Africa
through with
different Motives.
She assisted
European powers to
grant independence to
their colonies this
was done through
the Marshall plan
or open door
policy , which would
enable United States
to get new
areas to exploit
through Neo- colonialism so as
to acquire Market
and new Materials.
So united states we as
Africans and world in general
we are still remembering she
particularly in decolonization process from
colonial Yoke.
Remember United States
played a great
support for Nationalist movement
in Africa. She supported
those colonized countries
Materially and morally
for- instance food, Military
weapons, training of
Soldiers and other
like were few
of them given
as Materially Support
and advice were
highly introduced hence
the rise of Nationalism
in Africa and other
parts of the
world.
Also United
States made a
history which can
be remember world wide by electing the
first Black -American
preside in white
house. This shows
that democratically they have
matured enough and terminated those element
of segregation discrimination in the aspects
of political ,social ,economic and technology . Barack Obama is the 44 us president
and the first black America who orientated from Kenya .By so
doing this is a world history which should be recreated
particularly by African societies
Bailey and Kennedy
(1987:44) says that black America contributed much the growth or
survive of African
culture in America
particularly united states A good example
is was
those captive black people in the Chesapeake
area .these captive
black people soon
these of people increase
not only through slave
trade importer but it is due to their own
fertility ,this makes one of the few
slave
societies in history to perpetuate
its own natural reproduction .Native born
Afro Americans contributed
to the growth of stable and distinctive
slave culture a
mixture of Africa and American elements of speech , religious and f olkways.
There fore united state history we are remembered through the imitation of survive of
African culture particularly
during the trans-Atlantic
slave trade.
CONCLUTION
United States
history was greatly
remembered particularly by his economic advancement from
low stage of
development to peak
stage of development and
become the world
super power in
industrial base . The United state
history passes
several historical incidences
including the era
of British domination,
the American civics
war war of 1861-1865 and
the America independence
of 1770 to
1776.
All these
historical incidences made
United States to
be historically remembered., for
instance during the
Triangular Trade the Africans
from African continent
contributed much to
the growth of
economy in
USA. These Black – Americans were
participated in mines
and settler farms
in latin America
and America and
America in general.
The Black - Americans even
though were highly
discriminated and segregated
in economic, political,
and social aspect
but they are
the one as
the source for
the flourishment of
US economic.
But, United States
itself still yet
played till now
in world peace
making by sending
military troops in
different corners of
the world for solving
problems of wars particularly
in Pakistan, lraq,
Libya and other .
or else ohe
also assisting human
relief aids such
as food for
areas of famine
like African continent .
All these are few
reason made United
States to be seen as a country
which can be
greatly remembered world
wide.
