Beautiful, Well-Produced Book.
Simply the most visually stunning book I have ever seen on the American Revolution. The artwork is beautiful and although this is more of an art/history book, there is enough text to tell the story of the birth of The United States. I STRONGLY recommend this boom

AMERICAN REVOLUTION BOOK
I purchased this American revolution book a month ago, and I’m very satisfied with it. The book arrived surprisingly fast and in perfect condition, which made a great first impression. The content is well-structured, informative, and engaging. It offers a balanced view of major events and figures in U.S. history, with clear explanations and multiple perspectives that encourage deeper understanding. Whether you're a student or simply interested in American history, this is a great addition to your collection. Highly recommended!

Where are the Sovereign States?
A beautifully constructed book of the American Revolution and founding, and a pleasure to read and study. For a history book though, you think it might provide history instead of the typical propaganda regarding NOT discussing the sovereignty of the Individual States at the founding. Some may say that’s too much detail for an overview of the history at this time period, but that concept was fundamental to the signing of the Federal Constitution. The states fully intended to keep their sovereignty, or chances are they wouldn’t have signed the document. I copy below the real title of the Declaration of Independence and an excerpt of what it said. I do the same for the Treaty of Paris. Both are discussed in this book, but the sovereignty discussion is totally missing. For the Declaration of Independence notice how the real title says “thirteen united States of America”. Note, that the word united is lower case. Note that it calls out the independent states one by one towards the conclusion of that document. “The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events. . . . We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. ” For the Treaty of Paris note how it calls out each individual state “to be free sovereign & independent States.” “Treaty of Paris . . . . Article 1st. His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the United States, New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island & Providence Plantations, Connecticut, Jew York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina & Georgia, to be free sovereign & Independent States; that he treats with them as such, and for himself his Heirs & Successors, relinquish her all Claims to the Government Propriety + Territorial Rights of the same & every Part thereof. (emphasis added)” Why does our government-run school system (and this book) leave this vital information out? Then we would have to talk about how we went from a land with 13 sovereign states to one consolidated government. We would have to talk about the civil war. But that was just about slavery right? The slavery issue is a great smoke screen for keeping your eye off the ball as our government went from sovereign states to a monstrous consolidated National government – what we have today. Overall, pretty good book with the pretty pictures.

Ce livre est très riche en illustrations et en informations historiques. Malheureusement, l'emballage plus que basique a été détruit durant le transport et le beau livre est plein de bosses, de trous... C'est une honte qu'un site comme celui ci se fiche totalement des clients
