Unionist culture encourages strong social institutions that enable trust, tolerance, liberty, and the entrepreneurial spirit. Unionists champion the philosophies of the Founders themselves and those enshrined in the Constitution-individual natural rights, the equality of all human beings, and the Lockean idea that government is instituted to secure the protection of those rights. Shapiro writes of the three critical corners in the Unionist triangle-the philosophy, culture, and history that most Americans share. Saving America will require us to defend Unionism from the Disintegrationists, he says. The Unionists, he writes, cherish the principles that founded our country and made America great the Disintegrationists seek to dismantle those principles and destroy them. Even with our personal divisions, we are all Americans, he argues. In “How to Destroy America,” Shapiro outlines the values espoused by two longstanding factions, Unionists and Disintegrationists.

His newest work discusses these ideas and how they are being both upheld and undermined in America. Shapiro’s earlier work, “ The Right Side of History,” examined more than 3,500 years of the ethical principles and values of Western civilization. He analyzes the division that our country is facing today and offers a solution from our past to fix our future. Those bonds are on the verge of dissolution today, and Shapiro provides an important look into how we got here and where we are headed. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.” Shapiro reflects on President Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address, in which Lincoln said: “We are not enemies, but friends. New York Times bestselling author and political commentator Ben Shapiro answers these questions and more in his latest book, “How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps,” a compelling addition to the conservative library. How can we bring America together? What principles truly made our country great? What must we do to preserve them?
