About this ebook
Although Virginia is rarely thought of as a religious colony, by the end of the seventeenth century, the Church of England was stronger in Virginia than anywhere else in North America. This study examines religion in Virginia from about 1750 to 1800, focusing on the rise of dissenting religions, the religious life of different segments of colonial Virginia society, the connection between religious controversy and the American Revolution, and the effect of the Revolution on religion in Virginia. Revival, Revolution, and Religion in Early Virginia tells the story of Virginia's dramatic transformation from a colony with an official religion to a new state where church and government were separated by law, a separation reflected in the U.S. Constitution.
