The American Creed: A Biography of the Declaration of IndependenceWhat makes us all Americans--whatever our differences--is adherence to a creed, a creed based upon cornerstone truths the founders believed "self-evident."

Freedom and faith were intertwined. America, as a foreign observer once put it, is a nation with the soul of a church. |
