Liberty and freedom: Americans agree that these values are fundamental to our nation, but what do they mean? How have their meanings changed through time? In this new volume of cultural history, David Hackett Fischer shows how these varying ideas form an intertwined strand that runs through the core of American life.Fischer examines liberty and freedom not as philosophical or political abstractions, but as folkways and popular beliefs deeply embedded in American culture. Tocqueville called them "habits of the heart." From the earliest colonies, Americans have shared ideals of liberty and freedom, but with very different meanings. Like DNA these ideas have transformed and recombined in each generation.The book arose from Fischer's discovery that the words themselves had differing origins: the Latinate "liberty" implied separation and independence. The root meaning of "freedom" (akin to "friend") connoted attachment: the rights of belonging in a community of freepeople. The tension between the two senses has been a source of conflict and creativity throughout American history.Liberty & Freedom studies the folk history of those ideas through more than 400 visions, images, and symbols. It begins with the American Revolution, and explores the meaning of New England's Liberty Tree, Pennsylvania's Liberty Bells, Carolina's Liberty Crescent, and "Don't Tread on Me" rattlesnakes. In the new republic, the search for a common American symbol gave new meaning to Yankee Doodle, Uncle Sam, Miss Liberty, and many other icons. In the Civil War, Americans divided over liberty and freedom. Afterward, new universal visions were invented by people who had formerly been excluded from a free society--African Americans, American Indians, and immigrants. The twentieth century saw liberty and freedom tested by enemies and contested at home, yet it brought the greatest outpouring of new visions, from Franklin Roosevelt's Four Freedoms to Martin Luther King's "dream" to Janis Joplin's "nothin' left to lose."Illustrated in full color with a rich variety of images, Liberty and Freedom is, literally, an eye-opening work of history--stimulating, large-spirited, and ultimately, inspiring.

In "Founded on Freedom: Why You Should Be Proud of the Birth of America," Daniel S. Stackhouse, Jr. argues that the preambles to the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution form America's "mission statement" - an explanation for why the nation came into being and how it means to accomplish its purpose. As Stackhouse notes, mission statements are not necessarily a reflection of what is: they are often aspirational, seeking to address some need or attain a goal. Stackhouse argues that although most people throughout world history had not enjoyed the Declaration's proclaimed God-given natural rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," the deeply held belief in America's founding principles led the new United States of America, from its very beginning, to break off from the path which most of the rest of the globe had trodden throughout the ages and has continued to inspire and guide Americans ever since. After first putting America's colonial experiences with Indians and slavery into their historical and global contexts, Stackhouse argues that virtually everyone of the founding generation understood America's founding principles to mean precisely what they said, despite the fact that they had not been perfectly fulfilled. Thereafter, great Americans like Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ronald Reagan have repeatedly urged us to return to our founding ideals whenever threats to liberty and justice have appeared and required the nation to make a course correction and return to its true north. Stackhouse urges all Americans not to abandon our "mission statement" but to return once again to its unifying principles, now when we need them more than ever.

"Liberty was the most cherished right possessed by English-speaking people in the eighteenth century. It was both an ideal for the guidance of governors and a standard with which to measure the constitutionality of government; both a cause of the American Revolution and a purpose for drafting the United States Constitution; both an inheritance from Great Britain and a reason republican common lawyers continued to study the law of England." As John Philip Reid goes on to make clear, "liberty" did not mean to the eighteenth-century mind what it means today. In the twentieth century, we take for granted certain rights—such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press—with which the state is forbidden to interfere. To the revolutionary generation, liberty was preserved by curbing its excesses. The concept of liberty taught not what the individual was free to do but what the rule of law permitted. Ultimately, liberty was law—the rule of law and the legalism of custom. The British constitution was the charter of liberty because it provided for the rule of law. Drawing on an impressive command of the original materials, Reid traces the eighteenth-century notion of liberty to its source in the English common law. He goes on to show how previously problematic arguments involving the related concepts of licentiousness, slavery, arbitrary power, and property can also be fit into the common-law tradition. Throughout, he focuses on what liberty meant to the people who commented on and attempted to influence public affairs on both sides of the Atlantic. He shows the depth of pride in liberty—English liberty—that pervaded the age, and he also shows the extent—unmatched in any other era or among any other people—to which liberty both guided and motivated political and constitutional action.

How did Columbus' great discovery change the history of the world? What was the Enlightenment and how did it influence the founding of the U.S.A? What is American Exceptionalism? What makes America unique? How did the colonial experiences prepare American men and women to establish the modern world's first republic? How do the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution reflect Jewish and Christian principles? What made the American Founding Fathers great men and leaders?

Why were leaders of the Women's Rights Movement of the 19th century against abortion rights? How did the presidencies of Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln affect the size and scope of the American government? How were the ideals of the United States of America more fully realized with the freeing of the slaves in 1865? Historian: In The Story of Liberty, written for ages 11 to young adults, America's foundations are traced from the Hebrews and the Christian religious traditions to the Greek and Roman political traditions to the establishment of government in the English colonies in America. The Story of Liberty highlights---often with primary source documents such as the "Mayflower Compact" the first Thanksgiving Declaration, a section from the account of Paul Revere's ride---fleshes out the narration with easily-readable charts on such things as the differences between Republicans and Federalists or the size of early American cities.The book ends with Lincoln's assassination, and a second volume from 1865 to the present is planned. Loosely based on A Patriot's History of the United States by myself and Michael Allen (who did the foreword), The Story of Liberty strongly integrates the timeless principles of the sanctity of life, freedom of choice, government by representatives, trial by jury, division of power in government, and more. Strongly recommended. "John has a unique way of telling the story of the United States. He places special emphasis on America's place in the history of advancing Western Civilization. He begins with our classical roots and ties to ancient Hebrew, Greek, Roman, and Western European institutions. Just as importantly, he accurately weaves the story of Christianity and Christian values into the American story... John relates the truth about the American past by telling about our many good qualities and accomplishments as well as the setbacks our nation has endured during its long history...Young American history students and their teachers have long yearned for a book like the one you now hold in your hands." -Dr. Michael Allen, co-author of the #1 New York Times best-selling book, A Patriot's History of the United States.
