Arming America

''Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture'' is a discredited 2000 book by Michael A. Bellesiles on American gun culture. The book is an expansion of a 1996 ''Journal of American History'' article that uses falsified research to argue that guns were uncommon during peacetime in the early United States and that a culture of gun ownership arose only much later.
It initially won the prestigious Bancroft Prize, but later became the first book in that prize's history to have its award rescinded. The revocation occurred after Columbia University's Board of Trustees decided that Bellesiles had "violated basic norms of scholarship and the high standards expected of Bancroft Prize winners."〔(Statement of Columbia University Board of Trustees, December 13, 2002 )."〕
==Thesis==
The central theme of ''Arming America'' is that United States' gun culture arose during the 1850s and 1860s and that contrary to myth, it did not have its roots in United States's colonial and frontier eras. The book holds that guns were uncommon during peacetime in the United States during the colonial, early national, and antebellum periods, when guns were little used and the average American's proficiency in use of firearms was poor. Bellesiles maintains that more widespread use and ownership of guns dates to the Civil War following advances in manufacturing and a consequent reduction in price and improvement in accuracy.
