American colonies broke free from British rule when the Continental Congress voted in favor of the Declaration of Independence on July 2nd, 1776. Two days later, the Declaration was redrafted and signed. Many documents, speeches, and minds of unwavering strength were needed to create the beginnings of a country, and just as many ambitious Americans dedicated to the evolutionary fortitude of our country today must be honored in our continued ability for all of our citizens to live as freely as possible.

Below are the heavy hitters of foundational American freedom. Get in the July 4th spirit and read about what it takes to wield power for the people!

This Books-A-Million Exclusive edition of the Declaration of Independence features a gorgeous faux leather cover with rose gold foil.
We The People: Documents and Writings of the Founding Fathers includes 15 historical papers, from the Rights of the Colonists to Washington's Farewell Speech.
Known for its lively, clear prose and scholarly research, it is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of--and in the words of--America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.
Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize for "Truman" and "John Adams," McCullough returns with the story of the Revolutionary War.
Groom paints a vivid picture of the improbable events, bold ideas, and extraordinary characters--Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams--who created the United States of America.
This in-depth history of our nation's 46 presidents is now fully revised and updated to include Trump's eventful term in office, Biden's path to the presidency, and the election of Kamala Harris, the nation's first female, black vice president.
Philosophers think; politicians maneuver. Jefferson's genius was that he was both and could do both, often simultaneously. Such is the art of power.
From the author of Alexander Hamilton, the New York Times bestselling biography that inspired the musical, comes a gripping portrait of the first president of the United States.
