We the People: Volume I : Laying the Foundation James Gauss

Tired of American history that has been revised to be politically correct, or reinterpreted to conform to present-day political or philosophical thinking? Weary of reading someone else's rendition of history when all you want to know is what those who made the history really thought and why they acted as they did? The three volumes of We the People (Laying the Foundation, Birth of a Nation and Growing Pains of a Nation) are a must-have set of unadulterated American history resources for every family library. Each volume is full of historical documents, from the Mayflower Compact to the Declaration of Independence to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.' s I Have A Dream speech, along with a myriad of others. Each document is presented in its entirety with only a brief introduction to set the historical context and define its history makers. Volume I covers from pre-colonial America to the start of the American Revolution. Volume II takes you through the Revolutionary War to the Civil War. Volume III brings you up to the current era of political, spiritual and philosophical challenges. Don't just read about history, read what the history-makers thought and wrote. Highly endorsed by national figures as a must read for every American.
