the essay is on the events/moments in Canadian history that have come to defining Canada,and how these actions contribute to Canada’s national character; they have built our international standing, and helped us discover what it means to be a Canadian.
this is the paragraph i need the concluding sentence for:
The Second World War changed Canada forever. Canada went from being a mainly agricultural nation, to a developed and mechanized one in five years. Canadians moved from the farms to the towns and cities, and learned skills and trades. Canada built up its armed forces from a very small beginning to a huge force and supplied food, clothing, equipment and weapons to other nations, including the UK. By the end of the war, Canada had the third largest navy in the world, as well as the third largest air force. Canada was forever changed by that war, in mainly positive ways. During this period, many organizations and technologies such as the United Nations and the computer began to appear. After world war two, many positive effects such as immigration, began to emerge. After world war two, the United States was out of the great depression, it stopped the Germans from expanding more than they already had and it led to the end of the Holocaust. It left Canada viewed as a powerful and great country.

moreResolved Question: Why Do So Many US Blacks Embrace A White Culture As Their Black Identity?
I've always been confused by this. My ancestors came over to the US back in the 1830's or so and may have been indentured servants to pay for the passage, because of how poor they may have been and settled down mostly in Pennsylvania setting up little businesses like making machine parts for farm equipment, selling musical instruments, and sauerkraut (no beer :-( ). So my heritage is from Bavaria and that's part of our identity.
But so many blacks have this strong hold to an identity that is rooted in a white culture that is as white as you can get! Popular black culture today is rooted in the Scottish/Irish culture of those who settled in the southern US in the 1700's. The mannerisms, slang, traditions, and so much else stems from those Celtic people known as the Ulsters and more commonly historically known by the names, rednecks, hillbillies, or crackers (not meaning to offend anyone). I can have a very contrarian attitude to those I dislike and if I had gained freedom from being enslaved from someone I would want to distance myself as far away from those people and their culture as possible! I would want to wipeout that culture from my family and start new like when the symbolism and icons of Nazi Germany were destroyed after WWII. But maybe that's just me from my very individualist/independent nature.
I read tons of history books on just about every possible subject and find societal things like this so interesting and puzzling. :-)Yes I get that being a slave they were ripped away from their original culture, but there were various different cultures here in the US. There was no one "white" culture here and still isn't. Many of them don't get along too well. Like the German culture was huge, very antislavery, and about 180 degrees different in so many ways from the Ulster or redneck culture and they didn't exactly get along very well.Conformity isn't what a lot of them seem to want though so it's kind of a weird paradox.I have 2 black friends from Jamaica who are very cool guys, but they talk very much like Sean Connery with a Scottish brogue. I think they too are products of the Ulsters as well! :-)Not that I would've thought that they'd adopt an African culture. It's just something the dynamics of I don't know and wonder about.The primary culture of the slave owners was Scottish/Irish Ulster based and that's what the blacks were immersed in as opposed to the other white cultures here.
As for my family it's not like we lived like Bavarians here, but settled in German communities and many started small businesses or shops and lived in that culture as opposed those who would live in an Irish community or a Jewish community, all of which have a lot of cultural differences between them.I found some other information. There were some blacks who adopted German culture. They were blacks who lived in the northern free states where the German populations were. Germans never settled in the south and so that was dominated by the Irish/Scottish culture. Then towards the end of the 19th century huge numbers of southern blacks moved north and the Ulster culture that they brought with them squelched out the different culture that the northern black's had.
So that's why so many whites in the north and south differ much more greatly in culture and the blacks in the north sound and act mostly southern.

It was a history series about life and how we used to live a few hundred years ago - in Tudor times I think. In it a small group of people were sent to live in a house for a year with a bit of land. The house was equipped only with the items that would have been around in those times, and the only food they had to eat was home grown, using the farming equipment of the time. Even their clothes were of the period. I only saw one episode, in which the residents had to harvest wheat and go through the whole winnowing and grinding process before eventually making a loaf of bread. They also tended the (weak) beer which they brewed and drank instead of water because it was cleaner and safer. In the evening they sat around a large table and played simple games by candle-light.
The name of the series did not give much clue to the content. There was no "history of.." or "the way we were" or anything like the name of the farm, but I just can't find it in any search engine.The last bit should read, "There was no "history of.." or "the way we were" or anything like that.

For many years, Indian nations or tribes upon losing their land either survived on the margins of white communities or moved West. Indeed, early in the nineteenth century the lands along the west bank of the Mississippi served as a sort of Indian country, where nations such as the Cherokee were sent. It soon became clear, however, that white settlers would be moving across the Mississippi River much sooner than anticipated.
The reservation system emerged as the federal government’s major solution to the problem of how to make Indian land available to whites while protecting and acculturating Indians. Reservations were much smaller than the lands that Indian nations had previously controlled, in part because groups from several nations were commonly combined on the same reservation. These reservations were typically located on poor land, both because whites did not desire such land and because policy makers wanted to isolate Indians from the corrupt influence of white traders, especially those who traded in alcohol. Reservations would serve, government officials hoped and anticipated, as laboratories in which Indians could learn farming and trades under the protection of federal agents. It would prepare them for joining and blending with the American mainstream within a few generations.
The Reservation System in Practice
As racist as the assumption of Indian acculturation was, its proponents at least believed that Indians were as capable of learning and living as whites did. As the nineteenth century progressed, however, more and more Americans were influenced by ideas of racial hierarchy in which non-white races were said to be forever stuck in a less civilized state.
Even those Indians who wished to become educated in white ways therefore found substantial barriers. Congress was often unwilling to fund reservations and to fulfill treaty obligations, and the goods and personnel assigned to reservations were often of very poor quality. Indian tribes usually lived side by side with tribes of different cultures, sometimes former enemies. Their teachers were often more interested in extracting labor from them than in teaching them, and Indians who tried to making a living as farmers commonly found that they were stuck with inferior land and equipment. Many Native Americans, furthermore, did not desire to change their way of life.
By the early twentieth century, then, Indians were the most impoverished people in the United States. They had lost their political independence, and much of their culture had eroded. Indian agents tended to be authoritarian, and educators discouraged or prohibited traditional languages, rituals, and dress.
