Polarization. Division. Hate. Many Americans wonder how our
politics became dysfunctional-and what it will take to fix it.
Historian Michael Santos takes readers on a journey to the heart of
the American nation and the values that have allowed us to overcome
previous challenges, sometimes in spite of ourselves. He remembers
the heroes and heroines who challenged us to be better versions of
ourselves. Santos addresses a series of interrelated questions:
What are the legacies of this country, handed down to us by the
Founders? What have previous generations done to keep the
principles upon which the Republic rests alive and to advance their
implications for more and more people? Where were the fault lines
that put the American experiment at risk, and how have we overcome
them? And when we have failed to overcome them, what possible
lessons are there for an understanding of what America is and can
become? By offering these historical perspectives, Santos helps
readers overcome the current crisis in faith about the present
challenges and future prospects for the American experiment.
