This volume includes extracts from texts published in the founders’ lifetimes in which they exchange ideas on the meaning of justice, the evils of slavery, the role of the patriot, and the pitfalls of politics.

Great collection of quotes from the most important men in our history. It is amazing how these men sacrificed their lives (family, wives, careers) for our country. This should be a MUST read for every high school student.
