In order to understand the special work which the United States has been called upon to do in the history of Humanity we have first to remember that the American people are historically that section of the people of Europe whose task it was to explore the continent of America to subdue it and to develop it.It is impossible to understand the historical significance and importance of any country as long as we consider that country only by itself. In order to determine its true place in the scheme of things we have to consider its connection with the general stream of historical tendencies. It is needless to say that a purely partisan outlook-the so-called "patriotic" outlook for instance-is a hopeless handicap to the finding of the truth. In the study of history as in the investigations of natural science the truth is arrived at only after an impartial and dispassionate inquiry.Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while greatly reducing our impact on the environment.
