Description
Learn of the effects of the American, French, and Haitian revolutions on the development of the Catholic Church in the early republic. See how the minority of American Catholics were active in the Revolution and established a Church rooted in education, missions, and expansion westward. French refugees influenced converts, education, and American theology. Haiti’s revolution forced the Church to confront its own racism. Meet early saints and watch the Church struggle to grow and change.
