He won me by reading his littleknown 2011 book Dreams from Our Founding Fathers.

I read it. It's actually much better than the courage to be free. It's called dreams from my founding fathers.

It's an attack on Obama and a love letter to the founders in particular Madison and Hamilton.

Dreams from Our Founding Fathers

it's rather how his entire reading of American history is enveloped in both unquestioning fealty to the founders and an insistence that the role of slavery and race more broadly in that history does not seriously change anything about how we should understand the birth and development of our country.

For Obama and his teachers, the problem of slavery exemplified the need to adapt and improve the Constitution.

But the Santas would be reformers who misunderstand the role of slavery in our history are themselves the root of the problem in our politics.

there is a consensus among historians and legal scholars that Dred Scott v Sanford, which turned on the question of whether a fugitive slave could sue for his freedom after he crossed into a free state was wrongly decided because Taney declared that African-Americans could not be considered citizens.

However before he ever ran for congress after he got out of the navy He actually wrote a book that I am sure he had to have written himself because he didn't have a bunch of people around him Helping and it was uh dreams of our founding fathers. There were only a hundred or so copies published I got one of them made a copy of it myself and I started reading because I want to know these guys

The difference between those two books the one that came out recently that was probably had many editors and a lot of help And the one he had to have written himself that he he self published 120 copies of he would go to go to GOP events and sell it at a card table That book is brilliant that book is it could be a textbook in a college It is that level of understanding of our founding fathers the principles of how articulated it is

He also penned "Dreams from our founding fathers" published in 2011

the most revealing and consequential element of the book is the insistence that the role of slavery and race more broadly does not seriously change anything about how we should understand the birth and development of our country.
