Book Cover & Preview Text
The whole of the sixteenth century was a period of active preparation for future times, and all that is great in modern science and art may be said to have received its foundation in the agitations that grew out of that period of the world. The twelve decades, from 1480 to 1600, form one of the grandest and richest eras in the history of humanity. It was in that period that the foundation of our liberty was laid—in that period that it became sure that this would be a land of civil and religious freedom … Under the convictions of a strong Christian faith, the Puritans, in 1608, bade farewell to England, where they had been persecuted for their pure faith and simple forms of Christian worship, and emigrated to Holland, where they hoped to find a permanent asylum. The love of country, the ties of home and kindred, the prospect of suffering, trials, and unnumbered privations, did not deter them from this Christian enterprise—“For their desires were set on the ways of God, and to enjoy his ordinances. But they rested on his providence, and knew whom they had believed.”

About the Book
What do you know about the United States of America?
According to a report from Newsweek magazine, 38 percent of Americans given a Newsweek citizenship test failed, most because they couldn’t define the Bill of Rights. In addition, more than half failed a standard civics test.
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute stated, “The Founding Fathers understood that our constitutional system and the liberty it protects could endure only if Americans retained an understanding of our founding principles.”
Some of those are: The New England Confederation stated that the purpose of the colonies was “to advance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and to enjoy the liberties of the gospel in purity with peace.”
Harvard College required that each student believe that “the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life.”
In 1892, the Supreme Court of the United States declared, “this is a Christian nation.”
This volume has been put together to help you learn the truth about this uncommon nation and encourage you understand what caused it to be created. We must all stand in awe of the many incredible people who founded our exceptional country.
