Is the history of America so dark and disturbed that we need to start over? Where could we go to learn the details of what REALLY happened? Tim Barton, President of WallBuilders, returns to the program to examine the original documents behind some of America's biggest historical debates--straight from his personal collection of over 100,000 items! From slavery and the Treaty of Tripoli to Native American land claims and the biblical worldview of the Founders, Frank and Tim compare today's most popular claims with the evidence that often gets left out.Here's what you'll learn:Why is it essential to understand the meaning behind Thomas Jefferson's claim, "We hold these truths to be self-evident."?Did Frederick Douglass really believe America was fundamentally racist?Why is the Three-Fifths Compromise one of the most misunderstood parts of American history?What does the Treaty of Tripoli actually say about America being founded on Christian principles, and why is it so often quoted out of context?In 1813 what did John Adams tell Thomas Jefferson about Christianity and the founding of America in a private letter?What prompted Thomas Jefferson to learn more about Islam and what were his conclusions?Is America living on "stolen land"?Every nation is full of sin and America is no different. But what makes America uniquely different and prosperous is the influence of Christianity, which is always worth celebrating.
