WHY NOW?
Significant segments of the U.S. population have a keen interest in learning about the true history of critical periods in the formation and development of our nation.
The general public, especially our children and young adults in the midst of the so-called “culture wars”, need to be exposed to the founding principles that guided the formation of the world’s greatest democracy and the sacrifices and hardships our forebearers endured. We believe that the future of our Republic hangs in the balance of a true understanding of, and appreciation for, the basic tenets upon which America was established.
