Abstract:

From a historical view, the development of American multi-culture results in struggles for liberty and equality waged by the American people of all races and ethnics. The Independence War was a war not only for the colonial people's right of survival but also for equality among mainland minorities. The Civil War meant a battle of American peoples for the Black's rights of living and liberty, so that it encouraged the Indians and American women striving for their votes. Then World War II and the civil rights movement in 1960's promoted the formation of multi-culture characterized by "harmony but not sameness". Such struggles are characteristic of common fights and interactions of all the nationalities and are closely related to the course of multiple global civilizations as well.

Key words: the United States, multi-culture, liberty, equality
