Ol-ll Tl-lUS BE IT EVER.. .. America is a land of people. Great men like Paul Bunyan and .lohn l-lenry, like Thomas Jetlerson, George Washington, and Abraham Lincolnl lhen there are men like .lohnny Appleseed. l'le was not a great man, just an ordinary citizen who did a simple thingfdistributed appleseeds to the settlers ol the West. That is the kind of person who makes up America, the kind ol people who crossed the oceanito settle this vast new land. The little man and his family really settled this country-the cobbler, the printer's apprentice, the larmer, and the ship builder. -lhe wile became her husband's equal in America. Besides stirring the pot and rocking the cradle her hands chopped wood, plowed Fields, and harvested crops. These people, who gave up their possessions, their sense ol security, and the way ol life to which they were accustomed, knew what they wanted. Yes, they wanted security, but more than that they wanted freedom. All ol them wanted freedom of religion, press, and assembly, but they did not think ol that at First. 'lhey wanted enough land to Farm to make a living lor their lamily-a better livingthan they had made in Europe. -lhat is why they left and came to America: left the slums ol London, the lonely moors ol Scotland, the fertile land ol the Palatinlate, and the Famine-infested land ol lreland. -lhey realized that thfisjvvas a good land-good because no one interfered with their progress, good because there was no jealousy,no hate, no persecution.

More and more people left the East for the West. They left in prairie schooners, down the river in flat boats. Some even walked. A man, Andrew Joclcson, became President. We fought a war with Mexico, and gold was discovered in California. This was truly a great country. - - x But the people startedgto worryagtiut a man named Abraham Lincoln . fi' and a question called slavery. lzinallyfthat man became President, and a great and terrible. war sivas fought about slavery. After the war America lcept on being greater. These were the rip-roaring days of our country- the days of the Comstolte Lode, Dodgelcity, and the Cimarron. General Custer became of hero overnight because of his stand against the Indians on the l.ittl3g,Big l-lorn. Thaddeus Stevens introduced high school education into Pennsylvania. people were becoming education-conscious, for they lcnew education makes bettercitizens. Oil, Rockefeller, and trusts were the topics of conversation. Some Americans were getting too rich, and some- - 1 thing would have to be done about it, So the Americans did something about it. All this time Almerfcapiwas becoming greater and igreater. Someone had invented the automobile and the airplane. Qver in Europe they were having a war, so we stopped what we were doing and went over to help the democracies win. After the peace was made, we came home and 8
