These values led our founding leaders to undertake revolution. America is American because being Americans each of us assimilates from birth these ideals and values. Americans intuitively assume that they have rights that no one-not their bosses or even government can take away. They see themselves as free enough to choose the kind of life they will live and able to move from where they are to anyplace else-both literally and metaphysically. <sFounding Fathers of the United StatesNational characteristics, AmericanSocial valuesUnited StatesHistory18th centuryLeadershipUnited StatesHistory18th centuryLibertySocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory18th centuryLibertyPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory18th centuryUnited StatesPolitics and governmentTo 1775United StatesPolitics and government1775-1783Founding Fathers of the United States.National characteristics, American.Social valuesHistoryLeadershipHistoryLibertySocial aspectsHistoryLibertyPolitical aspectsHistory973.30922Fairholm Gilbert W974710MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822593903321Exceptional leaders3923235UNINA
