Produktbeschreibung
The United States of America has been called a
"Christian nation." Yet what does that mean? More
importantly, where did this idea come from? This work
sets to answer both of those questions by looking at
the development of "Protestant nationalism"--a
movement following the Civil War that infused
Protestant religious ideology with ideas of
Americanism. At it''s core, Protestant nationalism was
built on the idea of reform--reform for a country
divided and reform of an American people who strayed
from their faith. Those success however, transformed
Protestant nationalism into a cultural movement, one
that sought to define the nation in distinct
socio-religious terms. From 1870-1920, this movement
proved successful in that endeavor.
