Too many people are confused about their present culture and government, and what they stand for. Ignorance about the birth of our country and its impact on American citizens and culture is mainly caused by the general failure of our educational system, historical amnesia, social media, cell phones, and TV. Social Media through our cell phones can be addictive, altering our perception of reality and changing our cultural values. A broad cluelessness also exists about how the story of America’s creation has been deliberately manipulated for contemporary political purposes, contrary to the views of our Founders. Present political arrangements seek to remake or obliterate certain parts of the American past, especially in academia, politics, and journalism. Some of these people believe that the birth of America is morally troublesome or has little relevance for us today. It’s time to set the record straight about our heritage and the unique freedoms we possess, individually and as the most exceptional nation in the history of the world.From 1774 to 1781, there were 14 American presidents before George Washington was elected. The first 14 presidents have largely been forgotten and are rarely mentioned in most textbooks or history books. Chances are, you have never heard of many of them, and most likely, you do not know their significant contributions in the roles they played in the founding of our nation. These men bring together many important people and events, enhancing our understanding of our history and our American Culture derived from our Founding Fathers. These men are portrayed in brief biographies to present, overall, a composite of the early leaders, their philosophies, values, reasons, and actions to form a new nation. As we embark on our semi-quincentennial year, the information in this book can provide a better understanding of our American identity and why it is critically important to protect the values and beliefs we have developed.
