America’s democracy appealed to the global audience, and Abraham Lincoln posited that territorial integrity would give people a chance in the race of equitable life in the nation’s Civil War. The American autonomy of liberty took shape in the 19th century to support industrializing the economy and posing constitutional protection (Ahlness). Equally, the Lochner era that ended in 1937 enabled the state courts and Supreme Court to regulate working hours and wags. Good politics also played a role in shaping the understanding of freedom in America because it incorporated collective bargaining agreements (Beebe and Senkewicz). It also enabled free operations of constitutional restrictions hence enabling people to achieve self-reliance. The territorial growth, such as relieving California from Mexican rule and making it a free state made the people have self-rule and freedom from Spanish invasion.
The reflection of wars authored by Sam Watkins made Americans realize that freedom is not granted but looked for. Through strategies and persistence, America emanated victorious in 1902, and the fruits of an ambient condition have granted them the freedom streamed down in their generations. Watkins’s family was very wealthy and owned over 100 African Americans, but they were left to be independent. To date, many instances of slavery have been revoked, and every nation within the US can enjoy the fruits of the civil wars back in the 19th century (Gannon). The liberty for social justice formulated in the 20th century led to economic autonomy. Every American citizen enjoys the fruits of territorial growth that has been built with modern civilization. Civil wars also created industrialization capitalism, and many people were absorbed into permanent jobs. Many oppressed nationals such as the Indians, Asians, and Africans had a second chance to attain the American dream.
According to Abraham Lincoln’s address during the second term in 1865, he outlined the secession of the Civil War. It was during Lincoln’s second term that “progressive schools” dominated America. The classes had a central theme: capital vs. labor, manufacturers vs. consumers, and railroads vs. farmers (Mathews, 2017). Many American issues were affiliated with economic interest and the political structure contested around tariffs, finance, banking, and land policies. It is through these economic interests that America emerged as a powerhouse for various industrial revolutions. In the world today, America leads in terms of technological advancement (Gruner and McCabe). Their economic model is structured to create an opportunity for everyone with the urge to start and develop a business. Many jobs are created, and people have enjoyed the fruit of economic freedom. Even the oppressed lot were guaranteed a new down with greener pastures. Their security was guaranteed, and the citizenship process was started through naturalization.
The fourth conception has liberty as social justice, and it was formulated in the 19th century. The economic autonomy liberty was progressive, and modern civilization advanced social sciences to improve societal synchronization (Baker). However, many people lived with the fear of political advances, and some suffered environmental degradation. Society had to find ways of survival through the civil wars, which made them develop a unique set of talents. The society adopted protection against being impoverished by industrial contractual arrangements (Baker). Many employees within the US vicinity enjoyed utmost protection from employers with good earnings. The continual revolution in employee freedom has made America score highly in terms of employee ethics. The freedom of expression while employed has made democratic freedom take its course in establishing the US as a powerhouse.
