Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood

The book "Union" by Colin Woodard is a groundbreaking exploration of how the myth of U.S.

national unity was created and fought over in the 19th century.

Through the lives of key historical figures, Woodard reveals the struggle between visions of America as a unified nation with a God-given mission to lead humanity towards freedom, equality, and self-government, versus the idea that the United States was the homeland of the superior "Anglo-Saxon" race.

This gripping narrative sheds light on the origins of our national identity and the ongoing struggle for racial equality in America.

With vivid storytelling and relentless accessibility, Woodard's book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complex history of our nation and its continued relevance today.
