Nationalism and Religion in America 1774-1789 is a comprehensive historical study examining the critical role of religious sentiment and ecclesiastical organizations during the formative years of the United States. Author Edward Frank Humphrey explores the complex interplay between faith and the emerging national identity during the American Revolution and the subsequent period of confederation and constitutional development. The work delves into how various denominations-including the Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Catholics, and others-interacted with the revolutionary cause and influenced the shifting political landscape.

The text provides a detailed analysis of how religious leaders and their congregations navigated the challenges of war, loyalty, and the eventual movement toward the separation of church and state. By focusing on the crucial window between the First Continental Congress and the establishment of the federal government, the book illustrates how religious diversity and cooperation helped shape the unique character of American nationalism. This scholarly examination remains an essential resource for those interested in the religious foundations of American political life and the sociological impact of faith on the birth of the nation.
