商品簡介
Selected readings construct a summary of American history told through ideas rather than events and an inquiry into the abstract ideas of liberty and equality through the concrete lens of American history. Among them are the slavery paragraph from Thomas Jefferson's draft of the Declaration of Independence, many passages from, Tocqueville's Democracy in America, many passages of Publius (Alexander Hamilton) in the Federalist, the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments, John Winthrop's "A Model of Christian Charity," Jefferson's letter to Danbury Baptists, James Madison's memorandum on an African colony for freed slaves, and the seventh Lincoln-Douglas debate.
