| Revisionist historians say that America was founded by Deists, but the facts show that |
| America
was founded
primarily by Christians. |
| A
country that refuses to remember its past might just as well forget its future. |
| "A
study of America's past will show that a majority of Americans shared a common
faith and a common ethic. America's earliest founders were self-professing Christians
and their founding documents expressed a belief in a Christian world view." |
Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859), French writer and politician, author of Democracy in America, wrote: "The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other. "[1] "There is no country in the world where the Christian religion retains a greater influence over the souls of men than in America."[2] | "My
extensive readings have left me without a doubt that this nation was founded by
Christians, and was meant to be based on broad Christian principles. Religion
was the bedrock upon which the nation stood, and without it these amazing men
and women saw no future for the country they had established." - Rabbi Daniel Labin[1] |
From
a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to John Adams on May 5, 1817:
"What
makes revisionism so effective is that few citizens actually take time to confirm
revisionists' claims or to proclaim to the public the real facts."[9]
Woodrow Wilson, our 28th President,
Governor of New Jersey and president of Princeton University:
"A nation which does
not remember what it was yesterday, doesn't know what it is today or
what
it is trying to do — we're trying to do a futile
thing if we don't know where
we've come from or what we're about."[43]
