Review (PDF) Christ And The Americas
Christ and the Americas is a popular and much-loved high school American history text, written by best-selling author and history teacher Dr. Anne Carroll. It fills a great void because it gives proper attention to and appreciation for the role of the Catholic Church in American history. Beginning in pre-Columbus America and concluding in the 1990's, this book covers the vast panoply of American history in a fast-paced yet thorough manner. Its scores of amazing insights and penetrating analysis render history understandable and make the past come alive. With study questions at the end of each chapter, this book can be used as a traditional textbook or as an informal read for enjoyment and enlightenment. Students will come away from this book with a proper sense of who we are as Catholic Americans and of what America’s debt to the Catholic Church. (455 pgs., PB.)

Anne W. Carroll was married to Warren H. Carroll (1932-2011), who wrote a 6-volume history of the Catholic Church (e.g., The Founding of Christendom: A History of Christendom (vol. 1); she in fact finished the 5th and 6th volumes after her husband's death). She is also the founder of Seton Junior & Senior High School and Seton Home Study School, and the author of Christ the King: Lord of History.She wrote in the Foreword to this 1997 book, "This history book is written in the light of Catholic truth. The Catholic knows that the most important event in history was the Incarnation/Redemption/Resurrection and the most important Person in history was Jesus Christ. History is moving in a straight line from the Creation to the Last Judgment... In this book, you will learn the Catholic roots of our country."About the conquest of Cortes, she observes, "The devil gods had been dethroned, and in the sign of the Cross, the Spaniards had conquered." (Pg. 27) About Charles Carroll ("the only Catholic signer" of the Declaration of Independence), she records that he said, "There go a few millions (meaning that Carroll was putting his considerable fortune on the line for the sake of independence)." (Pg. 106)She suggests that "the reason the Constitutional system could be perverted ... is that the Constitution allows matters of truth and morality to become open questions, not anchored to Divine law."
