Ben Franklin's World 020 Four Steeples Over the City Streets
Have you ever wondered about how early American men, women, and slaves worshipped?
Religion played a large role in why some Europeans settled in British North America.
The Puritans of New England, the German Protestants of the Mid-Atlantic region, and the Catholics of Maryland all migrated to North America to worship freely, to name but a few religious groups in colonial North America.
Kyle T. Bulthuis, Assistant Professor of History at Utah State University and author of Four Steeples Over the City Streets: Religion and Society in New York’s Early Republic Congregations, takes us on an exploration of early American religious life.
