For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way Americaâ€™s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of Americaâ€™s patriots and the achievements of â€œdead white men.â€ As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin.,A Patriotâ€™s History of the United States ,corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, Americaâ€™s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of Americaâ€™s true and proud history.
