Chapter Four highlighted the Revolution and the challenges of the early union. George Washington leads— the primary moral example. The French come to aide. Key documents (the Articles, Ordinance of 1787, and Constitution); the checks/balance system. It ends with a history of servitude/slavery in America, foreshadowing impending conflict. Reminders of imperfect human nature.

Tracing the culmination of the American principle of self-rule. From the unifying evangelical religious revival of the Great Awakening; the Scientific Revolution’s cosmological focus on order, design, and experimentation; to the Enlightenment’s emphasis on natural laws, reasoning, and an individual’s rights and responsibilities in relation to greater authority.
Revolution!

Awesome chapter that demonstrated the realities of the world confronting the hopes of “utopia”—breeding forms of self-governance in English colonies. Religious background is acknowledged, from Luther & Calvin in the Protestant Reformation to King Henry VIII & his ruling daughters. Wow!
I can appreciate what the settlers had to endure.
DIG BOYS & 3 cheers for John Smith!!!
