From the Paper:

"The United States of America is a nation that has a significantly rich and eventful history, particularly when considered in the light of such things as the assassinations of presidents like that of Kennedy and Garfield. Consider also the violence that erupted as a result of the slavery and racism that was prevailing during the era prior to the American civil war, somewhere during the early 1860s. The instability that was inherent to the country at the time was virtually unimaginable in so much as the extremity prevalent to them."
