"...how little is to be expected from any other Union, if the union of Christians fail." (Southern Baptish Convention, Charleston Mercury, 1845)
"The very worst omen of the times is the fact that the religious men of the country stand apart to so great an extent in this hour of trial. Most of the Churches have split on the very rock upon which the State is foundering. In fact, their divisions have prepared the way and laid the political foundations for the political divisions which now exist." (Presbyterian Herald, November 1860)
"On significant factor in the disuniting of the United States was the division of America's popular churches into sectional factions several years before the political break." (Broken Churches, Broken Nation, 1985)
"This war is on our part, a war for Religion." (William Norris)
