Résumé
History is written by the victors. But do the victors in America's forgotten debate really have it right? Do they even think about whether it is America's destiny to be both a nanny state and garrison state? American's Forgotten History questions standard understanding from a constitutionalist point of view. This, the first of five volumes, looks at the English Civil War, fought between Puritans and Cavaliers.
It then follows Puritans as they flee Cavalier power to Massachusetts and later Cavaliers as they flee Puritan power to Virginia. Puritans and Cavaliers allied against the mercantilism of England to form a new system based on the Magna Carta, the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the English Bill of Rights, and the Enlightenment philosophy of Locke and Montesquieu. They would maintain their uneasy alliance until they fought another civil war on a new continent.
After the American Revolution, parties formed around Jefferson and Hamilton that would frame American's philosophical debate until the collapse of Jeffersonianism at the Democratic convention of 1896. The debate, so important in the 19th century and so important if America is to rediscover itself, is ignored by the victors of the debate, those who give us standard American history. Modern historians extol activist war-like presidents, high taxes, super government, and aggressive international militarism.
The Constitution, as it was written and intended, makes all that impossible. This volume, Part One of American's Forgotten History, covers English roots, the colonial period, the Revolution, the Constitution, and the first four presidential administrations, those of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison.
