Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-17 00:00:00 Randy Scaggs This turned out to be a concise but wonderfully educational book on the history of the United States of America. Effective in that it shed light on the history of my country, much of which I have been absurdly unaware of. I think any American would greatly benefit, if they haven't already done so, in reading through our countries history to gain a better understanding of where we came from and who we are. This book also turned out to be strangely comforting during these seemingly tumultuous times. It's nice to know that we have had a history of foolish leaders and our country has survived. We have had a history of doing some really ugly things, but also some really beautiful things. It was also eye opening to see how much horror the majority (i.e. white America) has unleashed on those in the minority (i.e. everyone else). By learning from the past we can avoid future atrocities and blunders. The sad thing is that so many of our population can't be bothered. Let's hope and pray that changes. I'm happy to report that, while still a "dummy," my ignorance has been reduced through the reading of this book. Hooray books!
