The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels

Context. For American citizens weary of partisan divisiveness, one book to consider is Jon Meacham’s titled, The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels. We’ve been divided in the past in ways more severe than our current situation and have leaned toward our core values to come together. Historians help provide context for us to understand where we have come from, and how to consider current challenges in relation to how we have responded to past divisions. Meacham writes with love for the United States and with hope that our future will be less contentious than the present. Take a break from the headlines to reflect on our core values and consider how those values can lead us toward reconciliation and unity.
