520    The History of an American Idea examines the key role 
       dissent has played in shaping the United States. It 
       focuses on those who, from colonial days to the present, 
       dissented against the ruling paradigm of their time: from 
       the Puritan Anne Hutchinson and Native American chief 
       Powhatan in the seventeenth century, to the Occupy and Tea
       Party movements in the twenty-first century. The emphasis 
       is on the way Americans, celebrated figures and anonymous 
       ordinary citizens, responded to what they saw as the 
       injustices that prevented them from fully experiencing 
       their vision of America. At its founding the United States
       committed itself to lofty ideals. When the promise of 
       those ideals was not fully realized by all Americans, many
       protested and demanded that the United States live up to 
       its promise. Women fought for equal rights; abolitionists 
       sought to destroy slavery; workers organized unions; 
       Indians resisted white encroachment on their land; 
       radicals angrily demanded an end to the dominance of the 
       moneyed interests; civil rights protesters marched to end 
       segregation; antiwar activists took to the streets to 
       protest the nation's wars; and reactionaries, 
       conservatives, and traditionalists in each decade 
       struggled to turn back the clock to a simpler, more secure
       time. Some dissenters are celebrated heroes of American 
       history, while others are ordinary people: frequently 
       overlooked, but whose stories show that change is often 
       accomplished through grassroots activism. The United 
       States is a nation founded on the promise and power of 
       dissent. In this comprehensive volume, Ralph Young shows 
       us its history.
