Puritan Board Sophomore
Over the last few days I have spent some time reading older post's on the Revolution and whether it was a just war or not. But what I am particularly looking for is some reputable works, either books or journal articles (accessible online for free), that can shed light on the role (any role; political, practical, e.g, used Church for hospital) that Presbyterianism played in the call for Independence and the Revolution War. So far from what I've read Rom. 13 was not an issue as they didn't see themselves overthrowing the King, but rather they viewed the war as defending the rights they previously had as colonists. I still would like to track down any source that shows them at least interacting with the text if at all possible. I am doing a small research paper (10 pgs) for a 5 week course so I don't have much time to research and want to use it wisely. What better place to ask for leads than the puritanboard
Below are some works I have already. Any help would be appreciative. Thanks!
