Faith and Politics in America explores the period from 1607 to the
American Civil War. This book addresses the role of religion in the
political process in early America, the extent to which religion
influenced eighteenth century politicians and decision-makers, and
how the founding fathers used religion in laying the foundations
for a fair and just constitution. It also explores the meaning of
the separation of church and state in the mind of many of the great
political actors and thinkers in America in the early and late
federal period and their views on traditional Christianity. The
book traces how religion contributed to the success of subsequent
political leaders, such as the founders of the Whig and Democratic
parties, who claimed to be religious or to be adherents of a
certain faith and who used religion as a guide to execute policies;
and the role of religious faith in arguments over the institution
of slavery before and during the Civil War. While exploring these
topics from the time of the seventeenth through the nineteenth
centuries, the essays included in Faith and Politics in America
afford unique assessments of the American Revolution; the thought
of Thomas Jefferson; the religious philosophy of James Madison; the
life and thought of John Quincy Adams; the operation of the second
party system; and religious debates over the acceptability of
slavery immediately prior to the Civil War.
