The Christian Principle of American Political Union (Part II)

Author Amy GreenPosted on July 25, 2022July 25, 2022Categories Discerning Moment

When the Boston Port Bill was enforced against Massachusetts (1774) cutting off their foreign and domestic trade (EXTERNAL), the flow of Christian support to beleaguered Boston blossomed (INTERNAL), eventually producing the call for independence. Colonists in port … Continue reading “The Christian Principle of American Political Union (Part II)”
