Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the stark changes, both positive and negative, that have rapidly reshaped American society in the post-civil war era. The author argues that, contrary to the unbounded optimism of the era, the nation has been swept up in a dangerous undercurrent, driven by destructive greed and a false sense of grandeur. The book explores the associated moral and religious declineâ" particularly in the increasing number of Americans who have rejected evangelical Protestantism but failed to embrace a new system of values. Through detailed examples, this book deftly presents the stark decrease in patriotism and the growing disdain for law and order. The author describes how a chaotic patchwork of fortune seekers and corrupted religious leaders have fostered an environment ripe for exploitation and criminality. Nevertheless, the book does not wallow in despair. Instead, it suggests remedies for reinvigorating the nation's morality and civic life, arguing that only a revitalization of culture and education will help Americans rediscover their sense of national purpose. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331148036_0
