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.
