Publisher's Synopsis
The history of the United States started with the arrival of Native Americans in North America around 15,000 BC. Numerous indigenous cultures formed, and many disappeared in the 1500s. ... In 1776, in Philadelphia, the Second Continental Congress declared the independence of the colonies as the "United States".
The English Reformation took place in 16th-century England when the Church of England broke away from the authority of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. These events were, in part, associated with the wider European Protestant Reformation, a religious and political movement that affected the practice of Christianity in western and central Europe.
The American Republic had its roots in the English Reformation. What took hold in Colonial America in the 17th and 18th centuries bore the indelible markings of the Protestant faith communities from England ranging from the strict Puritan on one end and the more free-wheeling Methodists and Baptists on the other. But what emerged out of that crucible was a nation that breathed freedom to these religious groups but eschewed favoritism to any one of them.
