Claiming the American Legacy
Nearly 232 years ago, our founding fathers declared their independence from Penning Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. This paper draws declared the thirteen American colonies to be a sovereign nation and independent from British rule. He also said the rights of citizens of this new nation to "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It further states: "We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal." Equality is not measured by results, but by chance.
The United States Constitution was created to "the people of the United States to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of freedom [is] and [their] posterity. "Clearly, the people of that time, there were few rights specific were absolutely crucial. These rights have been directly linked to individual liberties and freedoms we enjoy more. These founders principles and rights are our rights as citizens of the United States of America.
How important were these freedoms our founders? Patrick Henry said in 1775, "Life is so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! "
Freedom is not free, never has been. In 1776, Thomas Paine, said his generation and ours to the high price of freedom when he said, "This are challenging the time men, the soldier and the sunshine patriot will show in this crisis, reduce the service of his country but who now now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny like hell is not easily conquered, but we have this consolation with us, the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap we think too lightly; "dearness Life is only that gives everything its value. God knows how to put a proper price on its products, and it would be strange if celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated. "From the Revolutionary War through the conflicts of the last two centuries and today in Iraq, the lives of men and women were needed to preserve the freedoms we often take for granted.
As we contemplate the freedoms and protections are ours as citizens of this great nation, the blessings that come from God our Father, it is proportional on us to do our part. How? By getting involved actively in the process of government. Tuesday, March 25, we each have the opportunity to attend our mass meetings and participate in local government its most basic level.

American Legacy $12.99 From the moment of their births, John and Caroline Kennedy occupied a central position in what is generally regarded as the most famous family in the United States, if not the world. Even as young children growing up in the White House, their most subtle gestures and actions made headlines.... Yet until now they have not been the subject of a dual biography. In that sense, this volume represents a first. In American Legacy, #1 New York Times bestselling author C. David Heymann draws upon a voluminous archive of personal interviews to present a telling portrait of John and Caroline Kennedy. A longtime biographer of various members of the Kennedy clan, including Jackie and Robert Kennedy, Heymann covers John's and Caroline's childhood in the White House, the dark aftermath of their father's assassination, their uneasy adolescence, and the many challenges they faced as adults, all under the glaring eye of the media. He reveals John's and Caroline's loving but at times trying relationship with their larger-than-life mother, as well as Jackie's own emotional struggles, romantic relationships, and financial concerns following JFK's death. Other revelations brought to light for the first time in American Legacy include the assassination attempt made on Jackie just before she gave birth to John; JFK Jr.'s romantic escapades prior to marrying Carolyn Bessette and accounts of the predominantly happy marriage they shared despite criticisms from questionable sources; the shocking report of the autopsy performed on John following the tragic plane crash that killed him, Carolyn, and her sister Lauren; Caroline's rise to become one of the wealthiest women in America and her life now as the sole keeper of her family's magnificently complex legacy. Utterly compelling and full of new and fascinating details, American Legacy overturns much of what we thought we knew about two of the most talked-about members of the Kennedy family. |

American Exceptionalism and the Legacy of Vietnam $105 American Exceptionalism and the Legacy of Vietnam examines the influence of the belief in American exceptionalism on the history of U.S. foreign policy since the Vietnam War. Trevor B. McCrisken analyzes attempts by each post-Vietnam U.S. administration to revive the popular belief in exceptionalism both rhetorically and by pursuing foreign policy supposedly grounded in traditional American principles. He argues that exceptionalism consistently provided the framework for foreign policy discourse but that the conduct of foreign affairs was limited by the Vietnam syndrome. |

The Puritan Legacy to American Politics $35.93 Americans express a peculiar fascination with the founding of their country. Bothcitizens and scholars often disagree over details of the beginnings but many Americansdefine themselves in relation to the founding. History inspires them and provides a patrioticsense of belonging. It is often debated whether current policies are faithful to the so-calledfounding principles, what has stayed the same and what has changed. Though manycountries celebrate their birth, only Americans combine so much cultural myths and politicalhistory.Alexis de Tocqueville famously said: I think I can see the whole destiny of Americacontained in the first Puritan who landed on those shores (Tocqueville 1831-32). Andindeed, much of American mainstream culture builds on a Puritan legacy. They claim tohave inherited it by promoting the idea of religious freedom and equal opportunity, by beinga city upon a hill', a stronghold for democracy, and much more. However, only by retracingthe historical development of Puritanism and its roots, it becomes possible to determine whatsufficiently defines the Puritan legacy and what causes the persistent relevance in Americanpolitics up to this day. As Perry Miller stated, w]ithout some understanding of Puritanism, it may safely be said, there is no understanding of America (Miller 1950, 4).In this work I will therefore begin with reviewing the historical background ofPuritan theology and development in North America. Given this as a basis, I intend to traceback political modes of thought and behavior to Puritan roots. I will answer the question inhow far Puritanism is still alive today and how its legacy to American politics can bedescribed. |

Malevich and the American Legacy $70.98 This extensively illustrated volume examines the work of the Russian avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich and his influence on American art. Malevich, one of the pioneers of non-objective art, developed Suprematism as an art of pure form. He envisioned his paintings as geometry stripped of any attachment to the representation of real objects--an elemental alphabet of a pictorial language. A key figure in the early Soviet avant-garde, he was severely criticized during the Stalin era but embraced by the West in the postwar era. This book brings together a selection of Malevich's most important works with ones by modern and contemporary American artists whose work is shaped by Malevich's legacy, including Carl Andre, John Baldessari, Alexander Calder, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt, Ed Ruscha, Robert Ryman, Richard Serra, Frank Stella, James Turrell, and Cy Twombly. Essays by leading scholars and interviews with key postwar artists make this volume essential documentation of the history of twentieth century abstraction. |

Enduring Legacy $30.95 Rhetoric and ritual commemorating war has been a part of human culture for ages. In Enduring Legacy , W. Stuart Towns explores the crucial role of rhetoric and oratory in creating and propagating a “Lost Cause” public memory of the American South.  Enduring Legacy explores the vital place of ceremonial oratory in the oral tradition in the South.  It analyses how rituals such as Confederate Memorial Day, Confederate veteran reunions, and dedication of Confederate monuments have contributed to creating and sustaining a Lost Cause paradigm for Southern identity.  Towns studies in detail secessionist and Civil War speeches and how they laid the groundwork for future generations, including Southern responses to the civil rights movement, and beyond.  The Lost Cause orators that came after the Civil War, Towns argues, helped to shape a lasting mythology of the brave Confederate martyr, and the Southern positions for why the Confederacy lost and who was to blame.  Innumerable words were spent—in commemorative speeches, newspaper editorials, and statehouse oratory—condemning the evils of Reconstruction, redemption, reconciliation, and the new and future South. Towns concludes with an analysis of how Lost Cause myths still influence Southern and national perceptions of the region today, as evidenced in debates over the continued deployment of the Confederate flag and the popularity of Civil War re-enactments.   |
