Abstract

In the first quarter of the nineteenth century American religion was in a state of ferment. The gaining of independence had brought changes to the political order which required organized religion to re-evaluate its position. Nearly all the traditional churches saw the need to develop national organizations. Some churches, most notably the Anglicans, were forced to make structural changes because they had been tightly bound to ecclesiastical authorities in England. West of the Appalachian Mountains, where the traditional churches were weak or nonexistent, reformers were unchallenged in the spread of new ideas.
