Publisher's Synopsis
Rethinking The Propositions is a no holds barred reexamination of "American civic mythology". This book dares to educate on American history in a way that public schools and the media never dared. This book dares to question not just the correctness of the laws and policies of the present-day American government, but the presuppositions that those laws are based upon. Some people view the U.S.A. as the greatest experiment in government ever, the birth of true liberty, the uplifted torch for the rest of the world to follow into enlightened democracy and egalitarianism. This book is the counter argument to that theory. This book wishes to show, through logic and history, that the American Revolution truly was the Revolution That Destroyed Itself.
