DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Struggle for Religious and Political Liberty If there is any one tiling in the history of the human race that stands out more prominently than another, it is the fact that in this history, from first to last, there is one continued series of wars, in which the contest is either for conquest of territory and greater individual liberty, or the establishment or defense of some religion. With reasonable human beings, there must be some cause for this. This contest and struggle having lasted so many centuries, we venture to enter upon the search for the cause. Whether we have found the true one or not the reader must judge; but before doing so, we hope that he will examine the history herein made use of, and see if we have erred as to material facts of history; then, if he find we are mistaken in the conclusion to which we have honestly arrived, we earnestly request that he will correct our errors, and make the same honest effort, and give us the result of his labors.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Winning of Religious Liberty Strains them from imposing their opinions and their rule upon the world. When political liberty shall be won, how long will it be kept unless religious liberty is maintained also.2 The emancipation of society from tyranny and the deliverance of the spirit of man from human authority imposed from Without run parallel in history. Here is pointed out what the spirit of the Pilgrims has done to banish religious intolerance from the Christian world. Here are indicated steps which may be taken to reorganize the forces of the community so that individuals of different ideals and convie tions can live together in religious relations as peacefully as men of different political convic tions live together in organized society. I know of no other recently published volume which so impressively sets forth the value of the Congregational Order in its bearing on the worship of God and the service of men. It will aid the average reader to a fair judg ment of leaders in ecclesiastical history whom he has been taught to revere and those he has been directed to condemn because of their religious views. The liberty of mankind to develop through the democratic spirit can be secured only in the direction indicated by the trend of history as described in this volume.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Struggle for Religious Liberty in North Carolina, With Special Reference to the Jews The Old proverb that prejudice is the daughter of ignorance is strikingly illustrated in the history Of religious liberty in the original Colonies. Those Colonies where Jews had settled in numbers were among the first to adopt the principle Of civil equality, while those where the Jew was known little more than in name were the last to accept it. In justice it must be said, however, that the great principle Of liberty of conscience had been adopted by practically all the original States even prior to the Revolution. Catholics, Jews, Mahommedans and even heathens were alike protected in their respective beliefs. Nevertheless, a few of the original States prescribed a religious test for Office. In these, Catholics, Jews, and sev eral other sects were precluded from, attaining political honors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

What is liberty as exemplified in American institutions? Where and how did it originate? Through what struggles and triumphs has it advanced? What peoples have always been its defenders, and how have its influence and bless ings been finally extended to include all nations of the earth? It is upon a knowledge of the facts implied in such questions as these that young American Citizens, whether native or foreign-born, are to become truly Americanized.
