Lessons of American History (Paperback)

Americans sense that protection is the basic purpose of government-remember 9-11? Americans are also capitalists who seek private ownership and freedom. Culture wars have always been part of America. Remember the Civil War? Slogans and pamphlets helped cause our Revolutionary War. Words matter! Money is the plasma of politics, and each new freedom has cost us more in campaign costs. History is certainly humorous! Government's most important power is the power to tax-and boy, are politicians proficient at taxing! Since its early beginnings, public education in America has been decentralized and under local and popular control. It is therefore only natural that there are conflicting answers to the question, "Are the schools doing their job?" And, believe it or not, modern racism is an invention of the 19th Century's reaction to the international abolition movement. Hence, racism is curable! It's up to us!
