Tennessee Civil War 150 | Crisis of Faith

The vast majority of Americans in the first half of the 19th Century were highly religious and overwhelmingly Christian. They believed America was destined for greatness in part because of their belief in God. This belief was put to the ultimate test by the war, resulting in a crisis of faith.
