Description - Keys to American History by Richard Panchyk

Unlock and explore American history firsthand though this nation's most important documents. Much more than a reference book, The Keys to American History tells the story of a growing, vibrant democracy through its laws, Supreme Court rulings, treaties, and presidential speeches, from colonial times to the present. Organized chronologically, each document includes a brief introduction and excerpts, and often an image of the original. Most are followed by interesting and relevant historical quotes from books, newspapers, and speeches of their eras, providing a rich and varied framework to understand each document's significance.

The more than 60 entries include:

  • Mayflower Compact
  • Declaration of Independence
  • Washington's Farewell Address
  • Missouri Compromise
  • Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments
  • Emancipation Proclamation
  • Homestead Act
  • Wilson's Fourteen Points
  • Brown v. Board of Education
  • Voting Rights Act
  • Resignation Speech of Richard Nixon
  • ...and more

By reading the essential documents of American government, and the viewpoints of the leaders and citizens who wrote them, you will gain a profound understanding of the United States and the men and women who built it.
