Jon Meacham is an excellent visiting professor at Vanderbilt University and a contributor to the New York Times Book Review. He wrote the Pulitzer Prize for several presidential backgrounds including "American Lion: White House Andrew Jackson". His new book is "America's soul: fight for our better angels." JON MEACHAM: This idea occurred after the terrible incident that anti-competitive Heather Heyer was killed in Neonatis and Clansman's demo at Charlotteville last August. We do make ourselves the president of the United States and can not condemn Nazis and classmen for violating the basic parts of American beliefs. In my opinion, in essence, American identity is a long-term conflict between our worst instinct and the best intuition. good
