It is time to focus on what the United States has gotten right in the pursuit of liberty in the last 250 years since the nation’s founding. Two beliefs undergird America’s experiment in liberty, and they are articulated in the Declaration of Independence. The book “We Hold These Truths” is a gripping narrative about the impact of these ideals, taking readers through three of the most epic and defining moments in U.S history -- the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War II -- and onto today. Some people featured in the account include Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Julia Ward Howe, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, George Patton, Douglas MacArthur, Ronald Reagan, and Charlie Kirk. “We Hold These Truths” makes clear why the United States became the “land of the free and the home of the brave.
