Two hundred and fifty years after declaring independence, the United States stands at a crossroads.Born from revolutionary ideals and shaped by compromise, conflict, and courage, America's story has never been simple. It is a nation built on soaring promises of liberty and equality and on enduring struggles over who those promises truly include. As the country approaches its 250th anniversary, the question is no longer only where America has been, but what it is becoming. America at 250 offers a clear-eyed reflection on the American experiment, tracing the tension between ideals and reality that has defined the nation from its founding to the present day. Rather than celebrating or condemning, this book invites readers to think deeply about how history, culture, and politics have shaped American identity and how those forces continue to influence who belongs and who is left out. As the nation marks 250 years, this book asks a simple but urgent question: what kind of America will the next generation inherit and who will be allowed to shape it?
