Book Overview

""Papism in the Nineteenth Century, in the United States: Being Select Contributions to the Papal Controversy During, 1835-40"" is a book written by Robert J. Breckinridge. The book is a collection of essays and speeches that were delivered during the 1830s and early 1840s as part of a heated debate about the role of the Catholic Church in American society. The essays and speeches focus on the perceived dangers of Papism (the Catholic faith) and the need to protect American values and freedoms from what was seen as a foreign and potentially hostile influence. Breckinridge, a Presbyterian minister and prominent anti-Catholic activist, was one of the leading voices in this controversy, and his contributions to the debate are featured prominently in the book. Overall, ""Papism in the Nineteenth Century, in the United States"" provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter of American history and sheds light on the complex relationship between religion and politics in the early years of the Republic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
