Richard Ferrier delves into the fundamental lesson he gleaned from Alan Keyes during his work on his political campaign in 1996. He imparted to us the wisdom of President Lincoln, who, over 160 years ago, recognized the inherent truth that an American should derive his principles and form his sentiments from the essence expressed in the Declaration of Independence. Contrary to the perception that America is the result of a political divorce, the Declaration, in fact, bestows upon our nation the qualities of a sacred union. Ferrier asserts that we are a deliberate alliance and must strive to live politically by upholding the pledge enshrined in the Declaration.

In this profound reflection on American history and its founding document, Ferrier weaves together decades of teaching experience to shed light on the origins, veracity, and enduring significance of these fundamental principles. In times of turmoil, our nation yearns for a return to the bedrock upon which it was built. This book serves as a testament to the sources, truth, and enduring power of those principles. It is a labor of love and hope, offering guidance and inspiration to all who seek opportunities in the United States.

For those who aspire to embrace the American way of life, as encapsulated in the Declaration of Independence, this book serves as a timely reminder of the privilege and obligation that come with it. It is a call to arms, urging us to uphold the values and ideals that have shaped our nation since its inception. By delving into the teachings of Alan Keyes and President Lincoln, Ferrier provides a roadmap for individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of contemporary society while staying true to the founding principles that have sustained us for generations.
