FREE: Who Were The Founding Fathers? Two Hundred Years of Reinventing American History by Steven H. Jaffe

The listing, Who Were The Founding Fathers? Two Hundred Years of Reinventing American History by Steven H. Jaffe has ended.

This is a hardback book in good condition. The only thing wrong with it is that there is a tear on the dustjacket on the back cover. Can easily be taped over. Book has never been read.

From the beginning of the American Revolution to the very latest talk show and court case, Americans have argued over the Founding Fathers. Not only have we questioned the motives, meaning, and purpose of their actions, we have fought over who they actually were: only signers of the Declaration? Soldiers on the front? Women in the homes? Slaves in the fields? Who were the Founding Fathers?

America was founded relatively recently, and by people whose lives we can trace. Deciding what we think of the Founders also means determining what we stand for as a country. As labor unions and company lawyers, Confederates and Abolitionists, American Nazis and American Communists, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X have sought to speak for America, they too have defined and redefined the Founders.

In this lively, photo-filled look at the one question that has always been at the center of American life, author Steven Jaffe shows that the debate over the Founders is not so much about their time as it is the never-ending search for the soul of our nation.
