An American Family Bible

This is the story of individuals who came together from many different places around the world. They endured many trials and tribulations and actively pursued a better life for themselves and their offspring. During that struggle, they were often cruel to each other and failed miserably. Nevertheless, over the course of many years, they gradually began to tolerate and accept each other and forged numerous familial connections despite their best efforts to hate and destroy each other. Together, they eventually formed a nation dedicated to the proposition that everyone was equal and entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This book is their story, and the story of how their descendants continue to build on their accomplishments and failures.
