Description

THIS COLLECTION OF CLASSIC WORK TRACES THE FOUNDING OF AMERICA, FROM THE BIRTH OF OUR NATION IN THE LATE 1760’S TO THE CREATION OF A MORE PERFECT UNION IN THE EARLY 1800’S. IT CELEBRATES THE PURSUIT OF LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE FREEDOMS THAT DEFINE AMERICA THROUGH THE NOTABLE DOCUMENTS AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT WRITINGS AND SPEECHES BY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS.

AFTER THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, A DOCUMENT WAS NEEDED TO FORM A STRONG UNION AND TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT GUARENTEE OF THE POLITICAL LIBERTIES ACHIEVED DURING THE REVOLUTION. THE RESULTING CONSTITUTION WAS A BOLD ATTEMPT TO BUILD A ROBUST CENTRAL GOVERNMENT WHILE PRESERVING THE INDEPENDENCE OF INDIVIDUAL STATES AND THEIR CITIZENS- A MONUMENT TO THE COMBINED SPIRIT OF ALL AMERICANS.
