In this work DePalma seeks to demonstrate that, contrary to the standard depiction, Protestants and Catholics in early Kentucky and nineteenth-century Cincinnati enjoyed a relationship that was "on the whole ... amiable and cooperative" even though there was a persistent anti-Catholicism and "high points of disagreement" (p. xi). The first chapter gives the historical antecedents by describing the pervasive anti-Catholic sanctions in the English colonies and the brief interlude of more positive relations during and immediately after the American Revolution. |
