I just came across this cool quote:

"If we call the American Statesman of the 18th century the Founding Fathers of the United States, Then the Pilgrims and Puritans were the grandfathers and Calvin the great grandfather. In saying this one need not exclude the Virginians because Anglicanism has essentially Calvinistic foundations still recognisable in the 39 articles, and the Pilgrim Fathers, like the Puritans generally, represented a kind of Reformed Anglicanism. Though fashionable 18th century deism may have pervaded some intellectual circles, the prevailing spirit of America before and after the War for Independence was essentially Calvinistic in both its brighter and uglier aspects."

- Erik Von Kuehhalt-Leddihn
