[Introduction to Contents]
What are the two "Founding Myths" that were needed for the United States of America, an "artificial nation" that is not yet independent?
Where is the driving force that drives the world's largest superpower? The key to unlocking the present state of the world lies entirely in history. This is the seventh installment of the series in which the leading figures in the history of each country connect the past and the present and look into the future, based on the "historical event" that everyone has heard at one time and the "question" that everyone doubts. In the United States, which marks the 250th anniversary of its founding, two myths were created in promoting nationhood and national unity. Paul Revere's "Driving in the Midnight" and Betsy Ross's "The Secret Story of the Stars and Stripes". Why was that story needed? We look at the origin in the Battle of Lexington Concord, which opened the beginning of the Revolution for Independence.
