Religion and the Founding of the American Republic

In a clear and original treatment of a controversial topic, historian James H. Hutson, chief of the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, describes the rise of organized religion in America and its interaction with government from the arrival of Protestant and Catholic groups in New England and the Middle Colonies in the early seventeenth century to the establishment of new religious groups in the early decades of the nineteenth century. "This book undertakes an immense task in a few pages -- to tell succinctly the story of religion and the formation of the American republic between colonization and the 1840s." -- Jon Butler, Yale University.
