Racism in the United States
Racism has caused discrimination among many different religions, races, and political beliefs. Children that were not white were not allowed to go to the same schools as white boys and girls, adults were sold like animals to white people, and often times yelled at, beaten, and even killed. This changed families by making them think they deserved less than others and were not given the same opportunities to thrive off of. -
Holocaust
The holocaust affected many European families in the 20th century. People that did not meet the criteria of the Aryan race were either killed or torn apart by Nazis and shoved into concentration camps. It didn't matter how old anyone was or how many kids they had, every family was torn apart and forced into labor that scarred many people of all ages. -
World War II
World War II forced thousands of brothers and fathers to join the military and fight for our freedom. Along the way, tons of men, women, and children were killed because they were caught in the middle of the conflict. This also left families missing their relatives and mourning the loss of soldiers that fought for everyone. -
School Shootings
School shootings have affected nearly every family in the United States. Several have lost their lives or their children's lives due to deranged men and women that have opened fire on the innocent. This causes anxiety among families and have pushed some to go to the extreme to protect their children. -
