What is the meaning of the phrase "the land of the free and the home of the brave"?

The meaning of today is completely different from the meaning of the 19th century. First of all, you must understand the way of thinking of that age. It supports slavery, the author of "Stars and Stripes" is parent slavery, and blacks are regarded as people other than inferior people of white

From that point of view and author's perspective. "Free land" is a European settler in the United States, a law not under the rule of the UK, and if the UK makes it illegal, they are free to have their slave culture (their bread and water ) Can be continued.

"Brave House" is a European colonist who bravely challenged the British to defend slavery and grabbed weapons regardless of the result.

"Free land and brave hometown" is response to the protection of slavery. Not only black people but also Asians and American Indians.

This is complicated as I think that there are two US. One is the US ideal expressed by the words "everyone is equal", "everyone is enjoying freedom and justice", "the freedom of the land and the house of the brave man". Another is the history and discoloration of the true United States, that country, all its flaws. Actual America has advantages, but please do not confuse it with ideals. So, when you ask me to respect this country, which one do you ask me to respect?

All American sports events start with a national anthem song, and that song has the word "free land and courageous hometown", but I believe that many of us are obvious. Most Americans are proud to live in "liberated countries", but in reality their lives are subject to many modest regulations by the government. Consider the food you might buy when you participate in this sports event. The purity and freshness of food are regulated and the equipment used for the manufacture of food must meet federal safety requirements. The means of transport you use for games, stadiums and the way you travel are in line with federal standards. States and local governments may even impose additional restrictions. In fact, even the start time of the game is regulated by the government, because our time zone is determined by our government. Government regulation and management of corporate behavior is called regulation policy

As an American, you live in brave freedom and home. But what does it mean to be free? When we see the media, it is clear that our culture has a distorted view of the word. Liberty means that you no longer become a slave of some form of restraint but now you can do whatever you like freely without limitation or consequences. You can do whatever you want, do what you want to do, and you will pursue your own happiness with all your sacrifice. But this does not mean freedom
