Through absolute trust in God that characterized the early American leadership as virtuous and courageous, the founding fathers were able to secure independence from the British and build the United States into a vibrant nation. The teachings of the Bible so much influenced the leadership that John Adams, the 2nd President said, "we recognize no sovereign but God, and no King as Jesus!" Barely a century later, however, civil war broke out after an attempt was made to assassinate Andrew Jackson, the 7th President during the Bank War. Other US Presidents like Abraham Lincoln (the 16th President) and John F. Kennedy (35th President) were not lucky enough to escape assassinations.Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President said, "Educate and inform the whole mass of people. Enable them to see that it is in their best interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them". This book is an attempt of the author to help American citizens create peaceful instead of hostile environments through the studies and analyses of the quotes of the founding fathers, which are related to issues of Politics, Religions, Economies, Educations, American Values and Social Welfare.
