Religion and the American Revolution with Katherine Carté
Manage episode 345855158 series 2792952
The American Revolution disrupted the trans-Atlantic ties between American and British Protestants. Imperial Protestantism had helped helped to drive support for the British Empire, and the Empire seemed to Protestants on both sides of the Atlantic to be a way to propagate the faith. But the Revolution forced a recalibration of the role of religion in the lives of 18th-century citizens across the Atlantic World. Professor Katherine Carté discusses all this with us, in a conversation about her award-winning book, Religion and the American Revolution: An Imperial History.
