This is a vital work by the great-great grandson of Teddy Roosevelt where he demolishes the story that we are the "heirs to the founders," argues that the true heirs to the founders were the Confederates, and we should look to the era of Reconstruction as our true forbearers.

America doesn't need to find a new usable past; it already has one: we don't live in the Founders' America-we live in Lincoln's"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
