The beauty of America lies in its uniquely diverse culture. America is composed of people from every race, ethnicity, religion or the absence of it. Its people’s beliefs, lifestyles and interests range from the very noble to the most absurd.
Cultural diversity is what makes America popularly known as the Land of the Free, binding its people together. Yet this could also spell cultural chaos.
Concerned that Americans have seemingly lost sight of the founding principles that breathed life into the Declaration of Independence, John Gilligan was prompted to self-publish the book, The Soul of America: Essays on the 4th of July.
This Xlibris release is a compilation of Gilligan’s newspaper published essays that tackles on what America has become and what he hopes it will still be in the future.
Loaded with historical facts and insights, the author’s essays rest on three major standpoints namely the founding of America, its present cultural and political problems and how one’s patriotism can keep the country great.
The Soul of America is a must-read for everyone who cares about the future of this country. It also aims to keep the fire of patriotism of burning in each citizen and reflect on the real essence of America and what makes this country great.
