The Flag Was Still There A History of the American Experiment in Five Anniversaries

A clear-eyed yet hopeful history of the United States, revisiting the state of the union every fifty years since America's birth.
"Brilliantlywrittenand illuminating." -Douglas Brinkley,New York Timesbestselling author ofSilent Spring Revolution
America is the rare country that was founded on an idea, and it was a truly radical idea for its time: the belief that the people of a country could govern themselves.
The Flag Was Still Thereoffers a unique new narrative of the American Experiment. By focusing on five remarkable years marked by both progress and backlash-1776, 1826, 1876, 1926, and 1976-and with an eye to America's 250th birthday, David McKean and M. Todd Bennett explore how the United States has sustained its founding idea. The centennial saw a country still struggling to confront the Civil War's legacy, culminating in the birth of the Jim Crow era. In 1926, virulent nativism was at a peak, and a reascendant Ku Klux Klan marched on Washington. The bicentennial was marked by economic turmoil, post-Watergate political malaise, and the still-fresh wounds of the Vietnam War.
America has yet to fully realize its founding principles. But asThe Flag Was Still Therereminds us, Americans have always striven to defend, renew, and extend the nation's promise even in the face of staunch resistance-a determination that continues to this day.
