Eye-opening, provocative, and timely, The Nation That Never Was delivers a powerful reinterpretation of the story of America’s founding and the origins of its most important and fundamental values.Ĭhallenging the narrative that attributes core American ideals such as equality and liberty to the vision of the country’s founders, Roosevelt argues that they originate instead in the Civil War and as the hope of Reconstruction. Roosevelt House is pleased to present a lecture by distinguished legal scholar Kermit Roosevelt III-great-great-grandson of Theodore Roosevelt, first cousin (three times removed) of Eleanor Roosevelt, and distant cousin of FDR-on his new book The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America's Story.
