Publisher's Synopsis
"A Defence of the American Policy, As Opposed to the Encroachments of Foreign Influence" by Thomas Richard Whitney offers a powerful and impassioned defense of American political principles in the face of perceived external threats. Published in 1856, this work specifically addresses concerns about the influence of the Papacy on the political interests and affairs of the United States. Whitney's writing reflects the anxieties and nativist sentiments prevalent during a period of significant immigration and social change in America.
This book provides valuable insights into the historical context of anti-Catholicism and the broader debates surrounding national identity, religious freedom, and the role of foreign powers in shaping American society. It serves as a crucial primary source for understanding the complex interplay of religion, politics, and cultural identity in 19th-century America. Whitney's detailed arguments and fervent patriotism capture a pivotal moment in American history.
