Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the delicate relationship between Catholicism and American democracy in the 19th century, particularly in the years leading up to the Baltimore Convention of 1884. The author presents a detailed account of the events that shaped this era, including the rise and fall of the Know-Nothing movement, the impact of the Civil War on religious tensions, and the efforts of journalist Henry Watterson to foster greater understanding between Catholics and Protestants. Drawing on extensive research, the author argues that Watterson's courageous actions, particularly his decision to invite General Grant to Louisville in 1879, played a pivotal role in changing public sentiment and paving the way for the Baltimore Convention. The book sheds light on the complex interplay of religion, politics, and social change in 19th-century America, offering valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for religious freedom and the enduring legacy of the Catholic Church in the United States.
