campaign for religious liberty.
his part in incorporating the
guarantees of absolute religious
freedom in the Constitution is
a phase of his life that has not
been stressed sufficiently.
At the beginning of the Revo-
luton America was far removed
from recognizing absolute reli-
gious liberty, either on it's sta
tute books or in practice. Con-
gregationalism was the establish
ed religion in Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Connecti-
cut; the Church of England was
the state religion in all the south
ern colonies and in parts of New
York and New Jersey. Other
Protestant sects enjoyed a SINH
lar status in Pennsylvania and
Delaware. There were also large
numbers of Quakers, Huguenots
and free thinkers, $4,000 Catho-
lies and about 5000 Jews in the
various colonies. Virtually every
colony barred Catholics, Jews
and free thinkers from holding
public office, while most colon
les had laws prohibiting Catho-
lies from holding public religious
services.

Important as were these ex-
pressions in furthering equal
justice to all religious groups,
Washington went even further
in enunciating his ideal of reli-
gious equality when, in note
accompanying the treaties of
peace and amity with Tripoli
and Tunis in 1895 and 1897, he
specifically stated that "the gov
eminent of the United States is
not a Christian nation any more
than it is a Jewish or a Moham-
medan nation"

religious freedom were and re-

The Revolution. however. was
an important factor in brinqinq
men of all creeds together for
The first time. The concerted &C.
ton made necessary by the Rev.
olutlon contributed in large
measure to the establishment of
better relations between the var.
lous sects and religious. The lead.
ers came to know each other bet
ter and to appreciate and esteem
one another regardless of reli-
gious differences. The mutual
tolerance ensendered by the uni
~ OF revolutionary action ulti-
matelY stimulated the talent sen.
timent for religious liberty and
equality. In fostering this senti-
ment Washington played a role
second to none.
1t was shortly after the sign
ing OF the Declaration of indie
pendence that Washington, as
commander-in-chief of the Con-
tlnental Army, first gave public
evidence of his views on reli-
gious equality. One of the para
mount detectives of the Revolu-
tionary leaders was to win over
Canada, tn en- predominately
Catholic. Having in mind the
deep-seated prejudice between
the Protestant majority in the
American colonies and til e
french-Canadian Catholics S.
Washington wrote a famous let
ter to the inhabitants of Quebec
in which he said I'VE are too
well acquainted with the liber-
atty of sentiments distinguish
ing your nation to imagine that
differences of religion will pre-
JUDGE you against a hearty uni
ty with us. You know that the
iranscendent motive of freedom
elevates those who unite in her
cause above all such low-mind-
ed infirmities.
During all the years that he
was President. Washington plead
ed that THE conscientious scru.
Piles of all men should be treat.
ed with great delicacY and ten.
derness." In this spirit he wrote
to the Catholics of America II

more liberal. they will be more
apt to allow. that all those who
conduct themselves as worthy
members of the community,
are equally entitled to the pro.
lection of civil government.
