Plt;bPgt;A historian and former presidential speechwriter traces the origins and legacy of the words and ideas that made AmericaPlt;/bPgt;Plt;bPgt;INDEPENDENCE WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING: A historian and former presidential speechwriter traces the origins and legacy of the words and ideas that mad…e America.Plt;brPgt; Plt;brPgt;Illustrations and close readings of 68 original texts offer new insights on the American Revolution, the Civil War, and other key moments and figures in American history.Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;We hold these truths to be self-evident . . . all men are created equal . . . with certain inalienable rights . . . life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.P#8221; 250 years after they were written, these words remain at once familiar and startling. What do they mean to us today? Do we understand them in the same way the Founders did? Historian and former presidential speechwriter Ted Widmer seeks to answer these questions by returning to where the nationP#8217;s story began, the Declaration of Independence, to trace the remarkable history of how it came to be and how it has shaped the democratic aspirations of Americans and others for more than two centuries. Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Weaving together more than sixty fascinating original texts, Widmer finds in the words of succeeding generations of AmericansP#8212;radicals and conservatives, revolutionary insurgents and civil rights leaders, presidents and philosophersP#8212;the key to understanding the extraordinary durability of AmericaP#8217;s founding ideas.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;An expert guide, Widmer introduces us to: Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;ulPgt;Plt;liPgt;the revolutionary writings that set the stage for the Declaration Plt;/liPgt;Plt;/ulPgt;Plt;ulPgt;Plt;liPgt;Noah Webster, of dictionary fame, offering a surprising definition of P#8220;equalityP#8221;Plt;/liPgt;Plt;/ulPgt;Plt;ulPgt;Plt;liPgt;the true story of a fake declaration of independence P#8220;discoveredP#8221; in Mecklenburg, North Carolina, in 1819 Plt;/liPgt;Plt;/ulPgt;Plt;ulPgt;Plt;liPgt;searing challenges to the DeclarationP#8217;s philosophical claims by Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton Plt;/liPgt;Plt;/ulPgt;Plt;ulPgt;Plt;liPgt;radically divergent readings of the Declaration that contributed to the Civil War, and Abraham LincolnP#8217;s vision of a P#8220;new birth of freedomP#8221;Plt;/liPgt;Plt;liPgt;the ways in which the Declaration inspired civil rights activists in the twentieth and twenty-first centuriesPlt;/liPgt;Plt;liPgt;how the Declaration inspired democratic aspirations globally.Plt;/liPgt;Plt;/ulPgt;Plt;brPgt;The voices gathered here are impassioned and often disagree, but they are united in the belief that the Declaration has something crucial to tell us about the American people and the larger struggle for human freedom. P#8220;They speak to us,P#8221; Widmer writes, P#8220;and they talk to each other as well, in a conversation that will never end.P#8221; Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
