Throughout the history of the United States, whenever the dark clouds of
apprehension, fear, and adversity cast a long shadow over the nation, a
leader has emerged to successfully guide America into even greater
prosperity and achievement. Men such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln,

the United States, the most important was to instill faith and an unbridled
