The stamps are used not to narrate the history of the country, but
to celebrate its virtues. Sections cover heritage and values, discovery
and exploration, civil wars, manifest destiny, transportation and
communication, the greatest generation, and the 50 states. Text and
other photographs accompany illustrations of the stamps. The
chronological dimension appears in the steady rise in postage rates.
