America's History Revealed by Philip W. Winkler (2010)
History is more than names, dates and events. It’s like a national memory, one that helps us understand present issues by the light of past events. This book is a survey text, not a history textbook. The author has chosen certain subjects and themes to convey information and principles needed for America to remain free. Special emphasis is placed on the Declaration of Independence and the circumstances that caused it, and upon the Constitution. These documents form the foundation of our freedom. Americans need to understand the Founding Fathers and why they did what they did, because if they do not respect the Founders, they will not respect the foundation they gave us, and will not seek to keep it.
When some “historians” attack America’s Founding fathers, our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, portray the actions of one race or ethnic group as always wrong and others as always right, perpetuate myths, give false impressions even about Supreme Court decisions and election results, it’s time for a different voice to be heard. In this book, you will discover:
Principles the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution share. Why the Declaration of Independence stood on a solid moral and legal foundation. The pattern of corruption that prevailed in the British Parliament. Why Texas and Mexico claimed different boundaries leading to war. Violent trends that foreshadowed the Civil War. Who raised an army of white men to defend Native Americans from other white men. Myths about the Sioux and “Custer’s Last Stand,” and the contrasting truth. Principles of Economics and the Free Market. Why your property may be at risk. The threat to your right to self defense.
America has a great destiny. It was not founded to fail. As Americans we must be moral and vigilant. We need to keep the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in our hearts, and seek to live by them. Then America will remain powerful, prosperous, and free. 329pp. 978-0-9825297-4-4 [-history-home school-government-]
