Book Overview On America's 250th anniversary comes the story of our nation's fiercest ideological struggle--over the Declaration's true meaning-- fough...
As America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the nation remains divided over the true meaning of its most resonant words--equality, liberty, and unalienable rights. Alongside the historical figures who forged the most powerful interpretations of the Declaration's ideals, readers enter the rooms, streets, battlefields, churches, and courtrooms where these meanings were questioned, defended, and redefined. They encounter Thomas Jefferson drafting the Declaration under impossible pressure, Abigail Adams urging the nation to "remember the ladies," Frederick Douglass insisting that America honor the universal promise of equality, and more.
From the nation's founding through abolition, suffrage, anti-imperialism, civil rights, and beyond, here is the story of an evolving document that has inspired movements, fueled resistance, and sparked conflict from 1776 to today. Yet it is also the story of the Declaration's greatest strength: the power to unite.
