Excerpt from Papers Relating to the Colonies on the Delaware, 1614-1682 The dispute at that period between the Proprietaries and the Lord Baltimore concerning the Provincial boundaries was, no doubt, the leading motive in copying such-records bearing on the early occupation of the Delaware by the Dutch. The papers relating to the Swedish settlements were of little account in terminating the controversy, and hence were probably never copied or translated from the Archives of Sweden, which is to be regretted by the historian.

For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
