Excerpt from Hand Book for American Citizens, or Things Every Patriot Should Know The object in issuing this manual is to place in the hands of the citizen a weapon which will arm him for the performance of his duties and the de fence of his rights. The information herein con tained has been carefully compiled from trust worthy sources. It is not specially intended for the theorist; it deals with the Republic as it has been and as it is, and with the Constitution and laws as they are, and not as this or that dreamer thinks that they ought to be. If knowledge is power, then the citizen who reads and studies this book will have power-power to do his part intel ligently in upholding the institutions whose estab lishment has cost. So much, and on whose perma nence the happiness of mankind may depend. The Old Flag appears all the dearer and more glorious the more we study the history which it represents, and the rights and privileges won for us by the men who bore it through the storms of many a battle field. The American who fails to acquaint himself with the origin and character of American institu tions, and with his own rights and obligations as a citizen and a sovereign is lacking in loyalty to his country, to his home and to himself.

For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
"As majestic in its scope as the country it celebrates. [Johnson's] theme is the men and women, prominent and unknown, whose energy, vision, courage and confidence shaped a great nation. It is a compelling antidote to those who regard the future with pessimism."— Henry A. Kissinger Paul Johnson's prize-winning classic, A History of the American People, is an in-depth portrait of the American people covering every aspect of U.S. history—from politics to the arts. "The creation of the United States of America is the greatest of all human adventures," begins Paul Johnson's remarkable work. "No other national story holds such tremendous lessons, for the American people themselves and for the rest of mankind." In A History of the American People, historian Johnson presents an in-depth portrait of American history from the first colonial settlements to the Clinton administration. This is the story of the men and women who shaped and led the nation and the ordinary people who collectively created its unique character. Littered with letters, diaries, and recorded conversations, it details the origins of their struggles for independence and nationhood, their heroic efforts and sacrifices to deal with the 'organic sin’ of slavery and the preservation of the Union to its explosive economic growth and emergence as a world power. Johnson discusses contemporary topics such as the politics of racism, education, the power of the press, political correctness, the growth of litigation, and the influence of women throughout history. Sometimes controversial and always provocative, A History of the American People is one author’s challenging and unique interpretation of American history. Johnson’s views of individuals, events, themes, and issues are original, critical, and in the end admiring, for he is, above all, a strong believer in the history and the destiny of the American people.

Excerpt from The Guide Post for Patriots It has long been evident to every thinking mind, that there was an intense hatred of Republican Institutions on the part of the rulers of Monarchical Governments in Europe, and the cause has been as evident as the result Republicanism and Monarchy cannot both flourish together in one State, and no more can either continue in its strength and vigor, if rival nations, when one acquires an overmastring influence by its superior power. Especially is this true of the latter, when the former attains a position which renders the latter the inferior as a maritime or military power to that one, which acknowledges no superior in the State to the laws made by the people themselves, and whose executive officer is but the servant of the power which created both. The United States of North America had become the haven of safety to which the oppressed of all nations fled for security, and who thus became of themselves one of the most material elements of our greatness, and brought along with them the most thorough and deep seated hatred of the tyranny which we then knew only by name: but they had felt its working, and when they touched our shores became not only Republicans in theory, but active Democrats in political life, and for which unmeasured scorn has been heaped upon our party. - Would to God that our own people had learned to prize our institutions as highly as did the foreigners whom our enemies so openly berated and despised! It is a truth, which time will make only more apparent, that the aristocratic parties in Europe, at an early day, saw that the Republic of the West must be destroyed, or that the term of their tenure as hereditary rulers of their various states, would be but a limited one. Our space precludes us from much more than referring to this subject, so full of food for sober thought, and replete with cause for anxcity to every lover of his country and of free institutions throughout the world.
