The Religion-Supported State

Piety and Politics in Early National New England

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Between 1776 and 1850, the people, politicians, and clergy of New England transformed the relationship between church and state. This book examines how church and state collided over disestablishment, Sunday laws, and antislavery and built the foundation of what the author describes as a religion-supported state.
