Catholicism and the Shaping of Nineteenth-Century America offers a
series of fresh perspectives on one of the most familiar themes the
nation's encounter with Catholicism in nineteenth-century American
history. While religious and immigration historians have construed
this history in univocal terms, Jon Gjerde bridges sectarian
divides by presenting Protestants and Catholics in conversation
with each other. In so doing, Gjerde reveals the ways in which
America's encounter with Catholicism was much more than a story
about American nativism. Nineteenth-century religious debates
raised questions about the fundamental underpinnings of the
American state and society: the shape of the antebellum market
economy, the transformation of gender roles in the American family,
and the place of slavery in an ostensibly democratic polity were
only a few of the issues engaged by Protestants and Catholics in a
lively and enduring dialectic. While the question of the place of
Catholics in America was left unresolved, the very debates
surrounding this question generated multiple conceptions of
American pluralism and American national identity.
