A Resistance History of the United States
by Tad Stoermer
Description
From Salem to the Underground Railroad, this sweeping history reframes America through the lens of resistance—showing how people repeatedly challenged power when the nation’s founding ideals failed to protect everyone. Public historian Tad Stoermer traces pivotal uprisings and movements, revealing the tension between liberty as an aspiration and oppression as a lived reality, and arguing that the United States has been shaped as much by dissent as by declarations. With vivid storytelling and a focus on lesser-told episodes, the book dismantles comforting myths and exposes the silences that have allowed injustice to persist. Ultimately, it offers a set of principles drawn from resistance—inviting readers to rethink the past and consider how those lessons can guide more courageous, equitable action in the present.
