From the nation’s founding through abolition, suffrage, anti-imperialism, civil rights, and beyond, Tony Williams co-authors a new book on the story of our Declaration of Independence throughout the ages. Divided Over the Declaration: How an Enduring Debate Sustains the Vision of America is the story of an evolving document that has inspired movements, fueled resistance, and sparked conflict from 1776 to today. Yet it is also the story of the Declaration’s greatest strength: the power to unite.
