This is their shame most of all.”- Gregg Popovich Because of Mr. Donald Trump, the land we love, America…is no longer united or beautiful.

Eric Metaxas, Author Of If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty Chats With Dr. Alvin

In 1787, when the Constitution was drafted, a woman asked Ben Franklin what the founders had given the American people. "A republic," he shot back, "if you can keep it."

Holger Hoock, Author Of Scars Of Independence: America’s Violent Birth Chats With Dr. Alvin

Holger Hoock A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITOR'S CHOICE A magisterial new work that rewrites the story of America's founding The American Revolution is often portrayed as an orderly, restrained rebellion, with brave patriots defending their noble ideals against an oppressive empire. It’s a stirring narrative, and one the founders did their best to encourage after the war. But as historian Holger Hoock shows in this deeply researched and elegantly written account of America’s founding, the Revolution was not only a high-minded battle over principles, but also a profoundly violent civil war—one that shaped the nation, and the British Empire, in ways we have only begun to understand. In Scars of Independence, Hoock writes [...]

Americans were shocked, perhaps none more so than their commander in chief, George Washington, who [...]
