The American Revolution was the greatest anti-slavery revolution in human history. The individual chapters of this book tell the full and true story of the intention and purpose of the American Republic, a nation founded on anti-oligarchical principles. It is the story of the Plymouth Colony, of the New Yorkers who created the Washington Presidency, of the networks from which Alexander Hamilton emerged, of the 19th century fight against slavery, and much more. Its theme is the chasm which separates the republican heritage of the Republic from the the outlook of empire and oligarchism. It is the perfect antidote to today's "politically correct" negative view of America's past and its purpose.
