Documents of Freedom
Primary sources bring life and relevancy to the past. From the struggles of the earliest colonists to eke out a living and devise a method for self-government, to the United States' present status as the world's only superpower, Americans have blazed an extraordinary trail. As America's narrative unfolds in documents from the people who witnessed it, the basic principles of liberty, freedom and equality continue to serve as the nation's basic goals.
Through these compiled documents, you will begin to hear hundreds of voices from America's past, three centuries of America's past, detailing and bringing to life the triumphs and tragedies, ideologies, hopes, and fears of America's greatest heros ... the Founders, the poets, and the everyday people like you and me.
The American narrative is a story like no other. Farm boys who trained muskets on the World's elite armed forces in the Revolutionary War simply to taste freedom, Mothers who sacrificed their children because freedom for all meant freedom from slavery, settlers who left their comfortable surroundings in order to forge and conquer new territory in the West ... they are the story of America. May we learn from our past, glory in the present, and look forward to the future. But may we never forget the sacrifices and the stories of those who came before.
This 3-Century Collection will continue to grow as we are able to add more documents to the Library.
