Revolution, Religion, and National Identity: Imperial Anglicanism in British North America, 1745-1795
|
Abstract |
The author argues that following the American Revolution, the Imperial policy in British North America was a conscious effort to link the established Church of England more closely to the social order. In Quebec, this meant an active campaign to woo the loyalty of the large number of dissenters (French Canadians) away from the Catholic Church and towards a Francophone Anglicanism based on Gallican principles. Ultimately, the policy was a failure.
