Very interestingly written book by Peter Marshall about our American History. Arrived in pristine condition and quite quickly. We are pleased.

- Great accompaniament to the book!
We are homeschoolers, reading through Marshall's American history series (abridged for children). I bought this activity book to keep the younger children busy while reading aloud. To my suprise, my eldest (eleven) even loves getting to color while we read.

The activities are pretty simple, geared to 6-8 year olds abilities. My three year old likes coloring in but, of course, isn't ready for the mazes, dot-to-dots, crosswords and such. The pictures are realistic, not cartoony.

- Causing the weak to stumble
Peter Marshall is on a mission -- to reinterpret American history from a "Christian" perspective. Since the end is known to him ("God planned it all out") then his job is simply one of finding facts that support his thesis and ignoring those that don't. Marshall is better able to do this due to his lack of training as a historian. Books such as Marshall (along with Manuel's) provide fodder for intellectually honest people to look at all Christians as suckers for any moving story, regardless of its inauthenticity.

. . .the benefit of the doubt here.

The Concerned Parent has cautiously given the "benefit of the doubt" to Marshall and Manuel's previous two American history volumes. I cannot do so here.

The decades leading up to The War Between The States were filled with crisis and controversy on a wide number of levels. Slavery was not a direct cause of the war. The Abolitionists were not all the "good guys". Many exhibited religious and ethnic bigotry on an incredible scale -- a bigotry just as morally wrong as the slavery they were condemning. Nativism and anti-Catholicism ran rampant -- to the extent that an entire political party was incorporated (The American aka "No-Nothing" Party).

Many, MANY issues and principles were involved in the decades leading up to the war -- and that rather basic fact just doesn't come through in this book. The issues of State's Rights are not adequately ... Read More
