Originally published in 1864, Benjamin F. Morris was fed up with the rising trend to re-write history to discount the Christian foundation of our nation and especially our constitution. This book is his thorough refutation of these factually incorrect assertions, which the politically correct of our day continue to embrace. It inspires the Christian reader with example after example of the faith of our forefathers, from Columbus to pilgrim to patriot, kindling a desire to reclaim our national virtue. If you think America's discovery and our government's foundation was divinely appointed, you will love this book. If you believe that obedience to God's law is the only sure way to preserve liberty, peace and prosperity, you will love this book. If you are a puritan descendant of the pilgrims, or of a founding father, or of any of the patriots of the revolution, you will love this book. ( )
