Advisor: Professor Joyce E. Chaplin John Michael Huffman Americans on Paper: Identity and Identification in the American Revolution Abstract The American Revolution brought with it a crisis of identification. The political divisions that fragmented American society did not distinguish adherents of the two sides in any outward way. Yet the new American governments had to identify their citizens; potential citizens themselves had to choose and prove their identities; and both sides of the war had to distinguish friend from foe. Subordinated groups who were notionally excluded from but deeply affected by the Revolutionary contest found in the same crisis new opportunity to seize control over their own identities. -

Defined by What We Are Not: the Role of Anti
LIBERTY UNIVERSITY DEFINED BY WHAT WE ARE NOT: THE ROLE OF ANTI-CATHOLICISM IN THE FORMATION OF EARLY AMERICAN IDENTITY A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF HISTORY BY BRANDI H. MARCHANT LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 2012 Introduction While touring America during the early 1830s, Alexis de Tocqueville reflected upon the religious character of the young country. As he described America’s founding, he captured the interconnection between the country’s Protestant piety and political system: “Most of English America has been peopled by men who, having shaken off the authority of the Pope, acknowledged no other religious supremacy; they brought, therefore, into the New World a form of Christianity which I can only describe as democratic and republican. From the start, politics and religion were in agreement and have continued to be so ever since.”1 While people widely acknowledge that America was founded by people seeking religious freedom, many fail to recognize the fundamentally Protestant and largely anti-Catholic character of this undertaking. The pervasiveness of anti-Catholicism in early America and the dramatic scenes it produced prompt reflections on this frequently overlooked influence on national development. Hanging an unpopular politician or tax collector in effigy and tarring and feathering were both Revolutionary protests that have become familiar images of America’s early history. However, before the colonists protested their British government, they had years of practice publicly protesting Catholicism on Pope’s Day. Each November 5, Englishmen in the mother country and in her colonies paraded papal effigies and carts through the streets, celebrating the preservation of English Protestantism as they vilified Catholicism.2 Another evidence of widespread anti-Catholicism was the refusal to observe the December 25 holiday. -

Sir George Calvert James I of England 1st Lord Baltimore 1566-1625 1580-1632 (Reign 1603-1625) George came to know Sir Robert Cecil, the spymaster to Queen Elizabeth, and carry packets for him. When King James I began his reign, Robert Cecil became the King’s Secretary of State and George Calvert came along as an invaluable aid to him. In 1610, Calvert became an advisor/supporter of the King and in 1618, James I appointed him as one of his two Secretaries of State. King James I made Calvert the first baron of Baltimore in 1625, in recognition of his services and loyalty to the Crown. The “Manor of Baltimore” was a 2,300-acre estate in County Longford, Ireland. When James I died his son, Charles I, also called on Calvert to assist him in matters of state.

Persecution of Christians During the American Revolution
When the Revolutionary War broke out in 1776, many Americans were ready to stand up and fight for their freedoms. After all, they had been resisting British taxation and enforcement thereof for more than a decade. But not all Americans were in favor of war in order to solve their problems. In fact, there were some groups of devout Christians who would rather die than take the sword. In particular among these were the Quakers and those we know as the Anabaptists (Amish, Mennonites, Brethren, etc.). These Christians went against the grain of the dominant thinking patterns of their day. Moreover, they paid a high price for it. In the process of refusing to resist evil, these peace-loving Christians were met with severe persecution from their patriotic neighbors. In the process of defending what they believed were their freedoms by divine right, the Colonists, in their treatment of these Christians, tyrannically deprived their peaceful neighbors of some of those necessary freedoms in order to gain their own. To briefly introduce the Anabaptists, these were a group of devout Christians dating back to the period of the Reformation in Europe. Unlike the Reformers, who were only willing to go as far as the state would allow them on matters pertaining to religion (such as infant baptism, nonresistance, etc.), they were willing to take only the Bible as their limit for faith and practice. Some of their early leaders were men such as Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz, Michael Sattler, etc. Eventually they took on names such as the Amish, Mennonites, Schwenkfelders, Brethren, etc., depending on their origins. -

1 CH506: American Church History Lecture 3 THE BAPTISTS, DISSENT, AND DIVERSITY I. The Place of Roger Williams in Colonial and American Church History A. The Establishment in Church and State By the middle of the seventeenth century, there were other individuals and groups (e.g., Anabaptists, Baptists, and Quakers) who shared some of the same convictions as the Puritans but who challenged the “New England Way” and the hegemony of the Congregational Establishment. These groups had many differences, but they were one in their desire to keep church and state separate and to sustain congregational life as a fellowship of true believers. 1. Anabaptists Anabaptists descend from Swiss and German radicals of the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century who not only insisted on adult baptism, but also rejected state control of the church and practiced nonresistance despite brutal persecution. Several Anabaptist groups that trace their roots to the Radical Reformation include the Swiss Brethren (Zurich), South German/Austrian Anabaptists such as the Hutterites (Austria), the Mennonites (Netherlands), and the Amish (Pennsylvania). 2. English General Baptists (c.1612) The English Baptist movement began in Holland where a group of Puritan Separatists from Lincolnshire took refuge (1608). A part of this group settled at Amsterdam under the leadership of John Smyth (d.1612). Soon Smyth came to the conclusion that the baptism of infants was unscriptural. At the time of his death Smyth was leaning towards the Dutch Mennonites. The Baptist group which he founded was led by Thomas Helwys (c.1550-c.1616) and John Murton (d. c.1625) in 1611 or 1612 back to England. -

This is understandable, and often necessary, given the sheer diversity of the means by which the individual colonies were established. Consequentially, Atlantic historians often grapple with the wide array of ideas that led to the establishment of the British Empire’s North American assets, and the methods by which these assets were regulated. Given the nature of imperial control over the Atlantic World, ranging from the extent of gubernatorial authority, to public shares and claims to resources, to the very purpose of a colony’s establishment, realizing a universal formula for British rule is all but impossible. However, a useful starting point for gaining a sense of British Atlantic power is to view the colonies themselves, and the elements that constituted their individual foundations. -
The Maryland Records in the Revolutionary

RADOFF THE CARE OF PUBLIC RECORDS during a war has always been a responsibility of peacetime custodians who have had to evaluate the dangers from invading armies, from friendly soldiers, and from shells, bombs, and fire. The custodians are, in general, ill equipped for this responsibility, and if they were to ask the military for advice, they would usually be worse off than if they had relied on their own common sense. Many examples of the unfortunate dispersal of records are to be found in the history of the last world war. Who would have guessed that the Hotel de Ville of Paris would become the headquarters of the under- ground and that it would have to hold out against a seige? Who would have known that the attack on Italy would come from the south, thereby imperiling the records that had been brought to Sicily and Monte Cassino in order to be protected against a breakthrough in the north such as that of Caporetto in World War I?1 As the Germans abandoned the city, the Brussels Hotel de Ville, with its records, was burned by the Belgians themselves in order to destroy the personnel dossiers which the Nazi had accumulated there. Also, in our own Civil War the records of eastern Virginia were removed to Richmond for safe- keeping. There they were lost in the fire on the day that Lee abandoned the city.
