Even though Charlie has graduated that doesn’t mean learning and reading should stop. Charlie and I’ve been reading America’s History: A Tuttle Twins Series of Stories, volume 2 (1776-1791) (America’s History (The Tuttle Twins)) for fun and we’ve learned so much through the book we’ve been able to share with David.
David picked the book up this morning and feel in love with the Eagle and the colors of the book on the cover. David was surprised to find out this book is also about The Tuttle Twins which we had just finished reading books about.
Charlie and David’s favorite chapter in the book was “A Bill of Rights’ which I also enjoyed learning about. Middle School History Teachers should use America’s History: A Tuttle Twins Series of Stories, volume 2 (1776-1791) (America’s History (The Tuttle Twins)) in there History Class and this book should be in all school libraries.
About the book:
Most history books treat the Constitution with unquestioning reverence and respect and discuss how essential it was for the fledgling States that had just secured their Independence. True, there is much to admire about this document, but the real story of America is far more interesting than what most people are taught.
For example, who struggled economically before the Constitution was ratified, and who benefited once it became law? What role did printing money play in the Revolution and in the desire by many to more easily collect taxes from the citizens? And while the Anti-Federalists—who opposed adopting the Constitution—lost the debate, what were they actually right about?
The story of the Revolution is a complex one, involving courage, honor, and a burning desire for freedom—but it’s also a story of power, propaganda, and economics. Learning from the real history will help us better apply the lessons of the past to our lives today.
