American Presidents

This small volume discusses on one of the most hysterical
topics on American history. The foundations of the republic of
United States is a much discussed historical subject mired with
dynamic emotional elements and rhetoric. It is indeed one of
the epic episodes not just of the foundation of the great nation
we see today, but also of the evolution of democratisation of
the world.
The history of the United States is the history of its elected
presidents, without whom the country would still be a
mash-mash of several territories, native tribes and
colonialpossessions. America's war against colonialism would act
as a catalyst of nationalism for several countries in the decades
to come after the official surrender of the British at their defeat
at Yorktown in 1783. The War of American Independence was
led none other than by George Washington, the first President
and one of the most influential rulers in American history. The
country's gradual rise and triumph as the leading international
power in the 20th century, still observed today, is a legacy left
by none other by leading presidents like Abraham Lincoln,
Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Harrison and
Franklin Roosevelt among many others, followed by their staff
and individuals who coordinated in making a country known
today as United States of America.
Brief discussion on the foundation of American constitution
following from the events relating to the great war of
independence, the legacy left behind by George Washington and
his first cabinet, all up to the declaration of the Civil War, the
bloodiest indigenous conflict the U.S has ever faced, resolved
ingeniously by Abraham Lincoln's rigorous presidency and his
guiding leadership still felt across America, are some of the
topics of this volume. The legendary guidance showed by
Franklin Roosevelt during the Second World War and the
charismatic leadership of the late John F. Kennedy are some of
the ending topics, concluding finally with the legacy left by
modern presidents such as Bill Clinton and the currently
presiding incumbent, Barrack Obama.
