IRB Intro #2: The American Patriot's Handbook

The American Patriot's Handbook is a series of important documents in combination with profiles of American leaders who have shaped the country into what it is today. It was compiled and by George Grant, whose biography on the cover declares that he is a "proud patriot." I am not too concerned about the bias of someone with such strong feelings about the nation, as there are enough primary source documents that can speak for themselves. Even if Grant's patriotism leads him to present the American government in a strongly favorable light, it will be a good contrast for the writings of Howard Zinn, which we read in AP United States History. That said, the reason I am reading this book is to learn United States history through primary sources and prepare myself for an AP exam based largely on document-reading and analysis.
