Description

Conservative historian Larry Schweikart believes that there are a number of events in the history of our country that bear further consideration. He urges readers to consider things beyond the traditional events that we study in school to see how America's character was changed both for good and bad. This book is a very interesting meander through some US history that is a little outside mainstream. From President Eisenhower's heart attack as the catalyst for changing the way we view food to the growing popularity of American Rock n' Roll behind the Iron Curtain helping to defeat communism this history is fascinating and well-documented. A perfect supplement to any high school American history course. 258 pgs, pb. ~ Zach

Publisher's Description of 7 Events That Made America America

Every schoolchild is taught the great turning points in American history, such as Gettysburg, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11. But other equally significant events have altered our destiny without being understood"or even widely noticed.

Acclaimed conservative historian Larry Schweikart now takes an in-depth look at seven such episodes"from Martin Van Buren's creation of the first national political party to Dwight D. Eisenhower's heart attack"and reveals the profound ways they have shaped America. He also asks readers to consider what the Founding Fathers would have said about these events and reminds us how individual liberty, private enterprise, and small government have made our country great.
