Teaching Resources Membership Donate Home   Teaching Resources / Books Why America is Free Kenneth E. Hamburger, Joseph R. Fischer, and Steven C. Gravlin (eds.), ISBN 0-931917-29-8, hard cover, 202 pp. This history of the founding of the American Republic (1750-1800) was written to help Americans understand the past, and to appreciate the true meaning of the American dream. This textbook is full of rich color photographs. The book is divided into four main sections--colonial life, causes of the war, the war itself, and the founding of the new nation. The Society of the Cincinnati produced this textbook so that Americans will know how to preserve their freedom. They must do two things: understand how valuable freedom is by understanding the terrible price our ancestors paid to gain it and never forget the ideas our ancestors struggled to preserve by discovering for themselves how our country was born.
