Overview

""An Address Before the American Whig and Cliosophic Societies of the College of New Jersey"" by Joshua Hall McIlvaine offers a fascinating glimpse into the moral and religious debates of 19th-century America. Delivered in 1859, this address grapples with issues of individual religious liberty, the role of religion in public life, and the moral responsibilities of citizens in a rapidly changing nation. McIlvaine's discourse touches upon a wide range of topics, including Erastianism, the perceived threats of Mormonism and Roman Catholicism, the death penalty, and the importance of public schools. He advocates for individual liberty and the foundational role of the Bible in shaping a just society. This address provides valuable insight into the intellectual and social currents that shaped the nation during a pivotal period in its history.
