Complementing recent scholarship that gives primacy to the Union, Our Country contends that non-radical Protestants consistently subordinated concern for racial justice for what they perceived to be the greater good. Mainstream evangelicals did not enter Reconstruction with the primary aim of achieving racial justice. Rather they expected to see the emergence of a speedily restored, prosperous, and culturally homogenous Union, a Union strengthened by God through the defeat of secession and the removal of slavery as secession's cause."--Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Protestant churches. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Religious aspects $x Protestant churches. 650 0 $a Protestantism $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Evangelicalism $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Church history $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x Religious aspects $x History $y 19th century. 830 0 $a North's Civil War. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211030938.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26F4CF262E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
