Why America is FreeA History of the Founding of the American Republic is a hardcover, 202-page history book aimed at children from fourth through eighth grades that focuses on the critical founding years of 1750 through 1800. Most adults also would discover new pieces of information about the principles of freedom in this book.
While first and foremost a comprehensive history, the book employs occasional vignettes of a fictional character who grows from a farm boy in 1750 to a soldier in the Revolutionary War and finally becomes a delegate to the Virginia convention for ratification of the Constitution. His experiences give texture to history by describing the details of ordinary life as well as the effects of national movements upon average families.
