Americans treasure few things as much as their individual freedom. But not many are familiar with the origins of those rights or the responsibilities that accompany them. Me, My Country, My God examines the rich heritage that makes the United States so unique in the history of nations.
Each of the thirteen chapters identifies a right that we possess as individual citizens and the background of that right, including the thoughts of our Founding Fathers, the development of those rights from early history, and the changes in how those rights are perceived today. The reader is guided to an understanding of the responsibilities inherent in those rights.
History comes alive with stories and characters that are not usually included in school textbooks, not only the great American heroes we are all familiar with, like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, but lesser known men such as James Otis and William Prescott, whose contributions to America were crucial for the success of the Revolution.
This beautiful 338-page hardback edition is perfect for the history buff, the political aficionado and it also makes a great gift item. |
