“To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys…. All efforts to destroy the foundations of our holy religion, ultimately tend to the subversion also of our political freedom and happiness. Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present … forms of government, and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them.”
-Jedediah Morse, “The Father of American Geography”
