Book excerpt: In times of turmoil and unrest, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and the events that have superseded it, the true prosperity, equality, and morality of the United States of America often comes into question. In the year 2021, when over half a million Americans have lost their lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 20 million Americans have lost their jobs, and 65 percent of workers live paycheck to paycheck, the question: To what extent has America become the country it set out to be? becomes especially pertinent. To answer this question, one must analyze the history of the United States to determine how far this nation has come, and what this nation has become: "Analyzing American History" reconciles America's systemic racism, inequality, xenophobia, as well as this nation's past and present failures with the words of the U.S. Consitution, The Declaration of Independence, true American morality and the Founding Fathers views on what type of nation America should become. "Analyzing American History" uses primary sources from critical events in American history as well as the words of the Founding Fathers and past American leaders to piece together an image of what the United States set out to be as a nation and how it has changed and evolved just as global social and political landscapes have also evolved and become more progressive. An excerpt from this book: "The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 exposed the extent to which religious fanaticism combined with greed, vengeance, and the familial rivalries of 17th century New England could devolve society into a state of madness and pandemonium. These witch trials caused the death of nineteen innocent people and the imprisonment of hundreds. The backdrop for such accusations of witchery was saturated in racism, religious discrimination and bitter rivalries between competing New England families."
