The Purpose of the Past
An erudite scholar and an elegant writer, Gordon S. Wood has won both numerous awards and a broad readership since the 1969 publication of his widely acclaimed The Creation of the American Republic. With The Purpose of the Past, Wood has essentially created a history of American history, assessing the current state of history vis-à-vis the work of some of its most important scholars-doling out praise and scorn with equal measure. In this wise, passionate defense of history's ongoing necessity, Wood argues that we cannot make intelligent decisions about the future without understanding our past. Wood offers a master's insight into what history-at its best-can be and reflects on its evolving and essential role in our culture.
Lincoln's Sacred Effort
Lucas Morel examines what the public life of Abraham Lincoln teaches about the role of religion in a self-governing society. Lincoln's understanding of the requirements of republican government led him to accommodate and direct religious sentiment toward responsible self-government. As a successful republic requires a moral or self-controlled people, Lincoln believed, the moral and religious sensibilities of a society should be nurtured.
The Declaration of Independence for Kids
A failure to understand the introduction to the Declaration of Independence is a failure to understand how and why our government was founded, why there are three equal branches of government, and how the constitution is the foundation for the three branches of government. In order to halt the progressive movement from eroding our constitutional form of government, you must have knowledge about the true meaning and purpose of the Declaration of Independence. This book was written and illustrated to encourage an interest in the reader to acquire the knowledge necessary to maintain our constitutional form of government so we may remain the greatest nation ever established.
