Been there, done that : how our history shows what we can overcome Cover Image Book

Been there, done that : how our history shows what we can overcome / Greg Jackson.

Jackson, Greg, (author.).

Summary:

Our nation's past is full of massive upheaval, disagreement, and departures from the moral high ground. The political gentlemanly conduct of yesteryear is no more than a myth. But that reality never allowed our worst historical selves to defeat our better angels. In Been There, Done That, Greg looks back in time to eight examples from our nation's history and shows that some of the hottest issues of our day are, in fact, American traditions that stand firmly beside another deeply American trait: the will to push back on these demons, prevail, and overcome.
