The book begins with the founding of the United States in 1776. The authors argue that the United States was founded on a set of ideals that were both radical and revolutionary. These ideals included the belief that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, and that they have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The authors then trace the history of the United States as it has struggled to live up to these ideals. They show how the nation has been torn apart by issues of race, class, and gender. They show how the nation has been plagued by violence, both at home and abroad. And they show how the nation has often failed to live up to its promise of equality and justice for all.

Despite all of these challenges, the authors argue that the United States is still a nation of hope. They believe that the American people have never given up on their dreams of a better future. And they believe that the United States can still achieve its full potential as a nation of liberty, equality, and justice for all.

Born In The USA is a powerful and moving book. It is a book that will make you think about the history of the United States in a new way. And it is a book that will give you hope for the future of the United States.
