Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wonderful Story of Washington: And the Meaning of His Life for the Youth and Patriotism of America
"America for Americans" is a patriotic appeal that has arisen in many a political crisis, and then gone to pieces in the confusions of what we mean by "Americans" and "America." American Liberty has been a goddess of worship from the beginning, and yet we find ourselves in an endless turmoil concerning what we mean by "American liberty."
Washington and his associate patriots wrote a great definition in history and established that definition in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, but human meaning, like the skies, seems hard to get clear and to keep clear.
