Do you know the history of the United States?
In school you were probably taught that English Pilgrims came to these shores to avoid religious persecution. You were probably also taught that immigrants didn't arrive on these shores until the end of the the 19th century and that all great inventions in this country were from descendants of the English and Europeans which populated the country - once the indigenous people were removed. Would you be astounded to learn that from the 17th century people from every continent on earth have contributed to the legal and economic success of this country? Native Americans, former slaves, Asian immigrants, the rich, the poor, the powerful and the downtrodden have created the scaffolding upon which the success and power of the United States has been built. This country, unlike any other, is made by and for We the People. Celebrate the history and historical strength of this country as we celebrate its birthday. This nearly 500 page book is full of historical photographs, insightful commentary and succinct biographies of hundreds of men and women from all over the world who came here to make a difference. There's never been a better time to take a look at what has truly made this country great.
