  From Revolution to Republic: The...

  The American Revolution is replete with seminal moments that every American learns in school, from the “shot heard ‘round the world” to the Declaration of Independence, but the events that led up to the fighting at Lexington & Concord were borne out of 10 years of division between the British and their American colonies over everything from colonial representation in governments to taxation, the nature of searches, and the quartering of British regulars in private houses. From 1764 - 1775, a chain of events that included lightning rods like the Townshend Acts led to bloodshed in the form of the Boston Massacre, while the Boston Tea Party became a symbol of nonviolent protest.  
  	The political and military nature of the Revolutionary War was just as full of intrigue. While disorganized militias fought the Battles of Lexington & Concord, George Washington would lead the Continental Army in the field while men like Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia and Benjamin Franklin negotiated overseas in France. Benedict Arnold would become one of his nation’s most vital war heroes and its most notorious traitor, French forces would play a crucial role at the end of the war, and the Treaty of Paris would conclude the Revolution with one last great surprise.  
  	After the Revolution, the new United States attempted to operate under the Articles of Confederation, which had been drafted in a time of war by men who were wary of Parliamentary abuses of power. Given that context, it should not be surprising that the national government the Continental Congress crafted during the Revolutionary War was particularly weak. Thus, the Constitution would be a decisive move away from the Articles of Confederation, which the proponents of the Constitution claimed promoted dissonance by giving the States too much autonomy. They argued that a strong federal government ought to be empowered to maintain standing armies and be able to levy direct taxes.

  Across the United States and around the world, there has been an ongoing resurgence in classical education, including among Catholics. The classical model, rooted in the ancient Socratic method, is flourishing, and classical Catholic schools continue to multiply and grow. But classical education also has its detractors. Some parents and teachers worry that it is impractical, outdated, or, worse, judgmental.       In Know Thyself, Andrew Youngblood, an educator with decades of experience in classical learning as both a student and teacher, introduces readers to this exciting education alternative and its intellectual and spiritual benefits. Youngblood defines the essence of classical Catholic education, explores its integrated and narrative approach to learning, and presents its transformative power and beauty.       Through brief vignettes, personal anecdotes from students and teachers, and examples from the classroom, Know Thyself makes a positive case for an education journey that teaches students to see themselves through God’s eyes—and to truly know themselves and who they are called to be.
