 A Faithful One-volume History of the United States
George Washington in a 1773 letter to a friend wrote:
"The ways of Providence being inscrutable, and the justice of it not to be scanned by the shallow eye of humanity, not to be counteracted by the utmost efforts of human power and wisdom, resignation, and, as far as the strength of our reason and religion can carry us, a cheerful acquiescence to the Divine Will is what we are to aim." And in "A Patriot's History of the United States: From Columbus's Great Discovery to the War on Terror" the reader finds a text that is friendly towards the Founding Fathers, Christianity, and absolutes.
Each American citizen should own an accurate volume on the history of the United States and "A Patriot's History of the United States" delivers the potent truth of the history of the USA guided by the providence of God. It discusses the Spanish and English landings in North America to the War on Terror in the 21st century.
The timelines are revealed and the dominant events and people are discussed in a lucid and plain writing style. The arrangement of the important events and people also includes a presentation of the achievements and difficulties of the matter being reviewed. Views of various historians are also included, yet the facts are presented as the truth bears out.
"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God" ( Benjamin Franklin).
I recommend this volume and stoutly advocate its use for Home Schoolers, Christian Schools, and public schools. It is an essential book for a minister and parent. It's huge (900+ pages) and makes a great gift (it's really cheap now on Amazon).
"The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity...I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and the attributes of God." (John Adams: June 28, 1813; Letter to Thomas Jefferson).

This is an outstanding resource for kids, teens, parents, and young adults to use as a base in understanding America while the reader learns the important events and essential people involved in the founding, building, and progression of the best country in history viewed through the presuppositions of truth and providence. This work makes for a powerful and alluring one-volume history of the United States of America.
John Adams said in 1775: "We recognize no Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!"

HONEST, TRUE, AN EASY READER. THINGS INSIDE THIS BOOK YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TAUGHT IN SCHOOL.
 Premise flawed
I have read a tremendous amount of history, good and bad, over 50 years. I am near 60 and fell in love with history and reading it from the age of 10.
The premise that it is somehow bad or wrong to focus too much on past transgressions or mistakes is, I believe, a flawed one. Taking a rose colored glasses view of our history will only set us up for more failures like our ruthless treatment of Native Americans, slavery, Jim Crow, The rise of the Klan and lynching, the exploitation of female and immigrant labor, the internment of the Japanese and confiscation of their property in the second world war, the Red scares, McCarthyism and so forth. As an individual concerned with my growth as a human being I spend most of my reflection time not on my successes but more on understanding where I have stumbled and not lived up to my own personal creed. I do this so I can prevent their reoccurance - I believe that I've actually gained more from doing this kind of reflection and searching for deep understanding than from my minimizing my past transgressions. I believe a nation will too in reflecting on its history.
I'll end with this: I remember a time as a young boy in school looking at a picture in a history book showing black slaves in a cotton field. The astonishing thing for me was the big wide grins on their faces, it looked like they were having the times of their lives. I'm white BTW, but even then and being a white kid I knew there was something wrong with that depiction. I submit that the history and social studies books in the 1950's were slanted away from addressing what had been done to people of color as our nation aged forward, even if by glaring omission. There certainly was no liberal slant that I can remember.
The History I Never Knew.
This is the way U.S. history should be presented to all Americans, from grade school through all levels of higher education.
best American history book
Great book. If you want to see what you've been missing, this is the book. Over the years, political groups have tried to water down some things about our history and eliminate others (Founding Fathers). A Patriots History puts them back. NO lies, no spin, no kidding.
