This work analyzes the influence of public opinion and various legislative actions on the teaching of history in American public schools. It elucidates significant historical attempts to control the narrative of history in education, reflecting the unfolding relationship between patriotism, law, and education in the United States. The opening of the book presents a preface indicating the author’s intent to document the historical and legislative frameworks that have shaped the teaching of history in American public schools. It introduces themes such as the impact of local and national influences, the foundational early educational laws, and the evolution of curriculum due to significant events such as the Civil War and the World War. Pierce notes the importance of diverse pressures—such as religious, educational, and political—on how history is taught, suggesting that these influences have significantly altered educational practices over time.
