CHAPTER XI

.

THE RELIGIOUS ASPECT OF THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE.

Spirit of the Old Testament in the Revolutionary War――Sermons in favor of the original Jewish form of Government――The New Nation as “God’s American Israel”――The Quebec Act――The intolerance of sects as the cause of separation of Church and State――A Memorial sent by German Jews to the Continental Congress――Fear expressed in North Carolina that the Pope might be elected President of the United States――None of the liberties won were lost by post-revolutionary reaction, as happened elsewhere.
