DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock to the occupation of Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay by Indians in 1970, the relationships of white & Indian have been a continuing story of misunderstanding. The colonists, with their European concepts of private property, never comprehended the Indian outlook that the land belonged to all mankind. And although some settlers came to America to find religious freedom, they had no understanding of or tolerance for the Indians' philosophy of life. They consistently regarded the Indians as inferior people. Even today, men of good will differ widely on the methods of treating the "Indian problem" or, as the Indians with great merit describe it, the "white problem."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor 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.
