Summary:"Tracy Strong explores the development of the concept of American citizenship and of what it means to belong to this country, beginning with the Puritans in the 17th century and continuing to the present day. He examines in detail the conflicts over what citizenship means as reflected in the writings and speeches of America's leading thinkers and leaders ranging from John Winthrop and Roger Williams, to Thomas Jefferson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Franklin Roosevelt, among others who have participated in our cultural and political debates. We see how the requirements and demands of citizenship have been discussed and better understand how groups are defined into and out of the American nation"-- Provided by publisher
