The Importance of the vote….By not voting you are throwing a way a chance to have your say.You have the responsibility to vote as a citizen.By not voting that means you have no respect for your country and the people who have done great deals for the country.By not voting you are letting the politicians do what they want in your country.

History…..This vote has made history because of the huge turnout to vote on the last day. Also the fact that Barack Obama is the first black US president and finally because of the history about black people in America.The most specific moments which make this so amazing include;Rosa parks and Martin Luther King Jr who both fought for the black community, and their right to vote.The Ku Klux Klan who killed many black people in America.The slave trade which treated black people poorly.All of these events make this election so important in the world history.

Historic Win…Most people ever turn up to vote ever in a president vote.Black people had a lot of the say in the vote.Black women were now able to vote.First ever black president.Made what Martin Luther King Jr did worth the while.
