In Uniting the States\, when the colonists threw off British rule\, they launched a gre
at experiment in democracy. Self-government by the people\, with a sworn c
ommitment to equality and liberty for all\, had never been tried. To give
the new nation shape\, leaders and patriots\, men who would raise their vo
ices and serve the cause\, needed to rise to the challenge.
Six am ong the founders &mdash\; John Adams and his son John Quincy\, George Wash ington\, Captain Daniel Shays\, Thomas Jefferson\, James Madison\, and Joh n Quincy Adams &ndash\; all would play defining roles in the decades to fo llow.
\nJohn Adams defended of the accused British soldiers at Bosto n Massacre\, risking his reputation to establish the rule of law as an ess ential American value. George Washington\, outnumbered in the face of the most powerful military force in the world\, found a new way of war &ndash\ ; and a road to victory. Daniel Shays lost everything for standing up for the little man &mdash\; but inspired the Constitutional Convention.
\n< p>The visionary Thomas Jefferson remade the country\, doubling its boundar ies by masterminding the Louisiana Purchase. James Madison challenged the British Goliath again\, declaring the War of 1812 and rallying the United States in its first foray into making America a respected world power. Fin ally\, John Quincy Adams\, the conscience of the country\, launched the na tion&rsquo\;s hardest-ever conversation\, attempting to erase America&rsqu o\;s original sin.\nTogether\, these six crucial episodes unified t he fledgling United States of America\, setting it on a trajectory unlike any other. As he has in his past bestsellers\, Kilmeade&rsquo\;s storytell ing is page-turning and eye-opening\, and shows how they defined freedom i n America and paved the way for the country we are today.
