America Divided

The Twentieth Century was widely known the “American Century.” The United States of America led the world economically, militarily, and even morally. Her families and communities were strong, her currency was sound, and her military was second to none. But as the new century opens, America staggers from one crisis to another and her leaders squabble rather than lead. Her enemies openly mock her around the world and brazenly attack her vital interests. At home, her citizens are divided against one another more than they have been in generations. The culture war rages and every passing election only draws more vitriol and animosity from either side. As America’s problems continue to worsen, history has shown that America will not be saved by her elected officials. If America is to be healed and restored, her restoration must begin somewhere much more foundational – it must begin with her people. But too many Americans don’t even know what it means to even be an American any more, and few can even articulate why the United States was founded in the first place. How did America get to where it is today, and why does the American Experiment seem to be failing?
