American Greatness

<p>The book was inspired by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign mantra: “We’ll make America great again.” The phrase “great again” contains implications: </p><p>1. If America was ever great when was it great? <br />2. In what ways was it great? <br />3. And if it was great what happened to its greatness? </p><p>The author discusses these implications in conjunction with among other documentations the Declaration of Independence the Constitution the Emancipation Proclamation today’s ineffectual and self-serving Congress and contemporary events having nothing to do with greatness. Also he questions who is included in the “we” of the mantra and how renewed greatness will be effected.</p>
