Unfortunately, popular histories have a tendency to gloss over unpleasant truths and harmonize the discordant voices of the past. This book looks beyond powdered wigs and polished portraits to find the human founders of the United States. Multiple and minority perspectives are taken into account, and well-worn stories of the founding era are revisited--from the complex issues of slavery and religion to the myth of George Washington's wooden teeth. Thoughtful text and fun sidebars illuminate primary sources and invite readers to think critically about these familiar figures in American history"-- $c Providecd by publisher. 500 $a Includes index. 505 0 $a The whole truth -- Revolutionary rumblings -- Declaring independence -- The Fourth of July -- "Remember the ladies" -- Betsy Ross's flag -- Waging war -- Peace at last -- Creating the Constitution -- Sidestepping slavery -- Ratification -- Religious freedom -- Friends and rivals -- The real Founding Fathers. 650 0 $a Founding Fathers of the United States $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $v Juvenile literature. $9 201231 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1783-1865 $v Juvenile literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055554.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=427E9868300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
