What happened when Evangelicalism met Calvinism on the New York frontier in Rochester, NY? The little known history of the underpinnings of how the United States shaped its Christian foundation with one man seemingly behind it all - Charles Grandison Finney. Learn about Col. Nathaniel Rochester, his nemeses the Brown family, and how the influx of rootless young men from downstate made them ban together to maintain control of the burgeoning young city. And out of the murder of Capt. William Morgan grew the first true third party of the United States - the Anti-Mason Party. (3/12)
