Description

Put on your boots--you're about to discover why America's Founders intended for their country to be different. Our nation was born in an act of rebellion against an all-powerful government. The goal was a government that was blind to its people, only beholden to its citizens. This is the story of how America took charge of its destiny and rose above oppression to become the greatest nation in world history. Less than a decade after our nation came into being, it put down another tyrannical king, established itself as a beacon of liberty, and grew into the greatest home for men and women in the world. Throughout these years, we have been taught that Jefferson left behind for us a set of ideas about democracy and what it means to be free. We know he wrote those words in 1776. But there is much more to the Declaration--much more than most learn while they are still in school. Today, we don't do nearly enough to emphasize this part of our history. But with this book, you can finally understand how high ideals inspired our nation's early leaders and shaped our founding document.
