Never in the history of the world has there been a generation which knows less about more than the one in which we live. Americans are as ignorant of the Constitution as they are of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. In our present delimma, books that reject the modern revision of our past and dare to set forth truth instead of propoganda are worth the proverbial King's ransom. This is why the reappearance of this volume is so important. The History of the United States by Alexander H. Stephens, a reprint of the 1872 original, is a foundational and valuable resource for Americans to know and understand the truth about the founding of this great nation. Readers will learn here things of which the vast majority of Americans have never heard but which are essential to understanding our past and the rationale for our political structures. Those who study this volume will gain an appreciation for the development of the Christian social order that occurred in this cou! ntry and which is vital to its future restoration.
