Book Preview:

#2 The US was founded on the promise of liberty for all, but was extremely slow to extend that liberty to nonwhites, and even today many people in power view the west as not their land.

#3 The first president to set foot in Kentucky was Daniel Boone, who was a drop in the bucket compared to what was to come.

#4 Washington was impatient with frontiersmen, but he understood that expansion was necessary to secure the country’s future. The government accepted control of its first territory in 1784, when Virginia gave up its claims to a large swath of land north of the Ohio River. This cession came not two months before the United States formally received its independence from Britain.
