About the book

The principles of liberty and freedom are fundamental to our nation. But what do they mean to us, and how have their meanings changed through time? Here, Fischer examines liberty and freedom as folkways that are deeply embedded in American life. He studies American ideas of liberty and freedom through the symbols they have inspired from the Revolutionary era through 9/11. Over 200 color and black and white illustrations.
