In 1776, Americans fought for independence, creating a strong democratic constitution. In 1861, the Civil War abolished slavery but led to a resurgence of racist forces in the government, pivotal moments in American history.
The Great Depression in 1929 saw FDR transform the government's role to assist working people. The attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 forced the US into a world war, a critical moment for democracy.
In 2024, the US faces another pivotal moment as the billionaire class influences politics, widening economic disparity. The 1% thrives while the majority struggle financially in a corrupt system.
