Dream:the faith held by Americans that a time of prosperity and peace lay ahead,and that a good life and a successful society can be founded on strength of will,courage,and hard work alone.LI_5_2 In the pursuit of equality and the“American Dream,”American people have authored inspiring compositions and sermons to express their feelings of what their country should be like.Thomas Jeffersons Declaration of Independence is a worthy example of the nations struggle for equality.“We hold these truths to be self-evident,that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,that among these are Life,Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”(Thomas Jeffersons Declaration of Independence,428)Declaration of IndependenceLI_5_3Abraham Lincoln On Jan.1,1863,Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation,which eventually led to the freeing of all slaves in the USA.“I,Abraham Lincoln,President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy,do hereby declare that on the first day of January,eighteen-sixty-three,all persons held as slaves within any state then in rebellion against the United States,shall then become and be forever free The government of the United States,including the military and naval forces,will recognize and protect the freedom of such persons,and will interfere in no way with any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.”LI_5_4American Civil War The American Civil War is not only a struggle over southern rights,but a struggle for human freedom.LI_5_5John D.Rockefeller Rockefeller was an American businessman of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries;a founder of the Standard Oil Company.He was the richest man in the world at his retirement and was noted for founding many charitable organizations.His acquisition of great wealth appears to demonstrate that if you have talent,intelligence,and a willingness to work extremely hard,you are likely to be a success in life as a result.LI_5_6 Based on a national public opinion survey in America,63 percent of Americans believe that they are presently living the American Dream.Moreover,62 percent believe that it is achievable for most Americans and 65 percent think their children have a good shot at it.Even among those who say they are not living the American Dream themselves,42 percent are fairly confident that they will achieve it some day.Of course,the American Dream means different things to different people.For the bulk of people,it means a good job and financial security.But,when people were given a chance to mention the two most important factors to them,living in freedom was the most frequently mentioned thing that defined the American Dream to them.The American Dream in 2004Ts_p1_ Questions and Answers
