    America Forged: Revolution to World War

    Miglior citazione da America Forged: Revolution to World War

    “

    American history isn't about perfect people creating a perfect system. It's about flawed human beings gradually building something better than what came before, where every generation inherits contradictions and has to figure out how to resolve them.
