Summary of Candice Millard's Destiny of the Republic

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 The Statue of Liberty, a symbol of the country’s promise, was shipped in pieces from France for the United States’ Centennial Exhibition, a world’s fair celebrating the country’s first one hundred years. It was installed in New York Harbor in 1876.

#2 Garfield was very impressed with the exposition, and wrote in his diary that it was a success in the way of education. He believed that education was the only way the country could escape its painful past.

#3 Garfield was a supporter of equal rights for freed slaves, and he argued for a resolution that ended the practice of requiring blacks to carry a pass in the nation’s capital. He was also impressed by the determination of the men and women he met at the fair.

#4 Bell was a teacher of the deaf, and he had come to the Philadelphia Exhibition to demonstrate his new telephone. He was disappointed to find that his exhibit was in the Massachusetts educational section, between pipe organs and educational pamphlets.
