An American is a unique individual with a shared character that transcends race, gender, ethnicity, and class. Bruce P. Frohnen and Ted V. McAllister contend that our current political conflicts reflect a crisis of identity resulting from changes in our political, economic, and technological environment, as well as our ability to evaluate and value the personalities that have shaped our way of life. The history of the American character is marked by both triumph and tragedy, as well as virtue and vice. It is a story of cooperation and conflict among an unruly people who, from the earliest days, questioned authority while striving to establish communities of faith, family, and local freedom under extreme circumstances.
