This Story of Liberty is part of a series devoted to teaching the story of liberty throughout history. It is meant for ages 11 and older, and it also perfect for the adult who thinks they don't understand history. Since 1776, the United States of America has been the leader of liberty in the world. This is why France gave the Statue of Liberty to the United States in the 1800s. It is why immigrants have come first to the United States of America, over other countries. Liberty is a universal idea that continues to fill the hearts and minds of people around the world. Unfortunately, the American student no longer learns this truth, but instead learns primarily of America's faults. Revisionist historians have focused on America's imperfections, instead of teaching all its history. Because of this ignorance and misunderstanding of history, Americans are in danger of losing their liberties. Many Americans do not know where we came from, and many do not understand the meaning of American history. The Story of Liberty, America's Heritage Through the Civil War, shows the young history student the truth of American history, teaching both the good and the bad. But more than this, this book tells the story of liberty throughout Western Civilization, beginning with the Sumerians and Hebrews, including the Romans and Greeks, and detailing how the limited government of Medieval England influenced the American Founding Fathers. The Story of Liberty answers these questions: How is the United States of America a Judeo-Christian, Greco-Roman civilization? How did Columbus' great discovery change the history of the world? What is American Exceptionalism? In order to understand where we are today, we must know where we came from. This is a fantastic book for those wishing to learn the truth of America's heritage through the Civil War.
