Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Boards to the General Assembly, 1876 The Presbyterian ministry, filled with the memories and history of persecutions in the mother-lands, became the apostles and defeu ders of freedom in the new. By means of the pulpit, the school and pastoral visitation, they had so trained their congregations, that from the Carolinas to New Hampshire, the Presbyterian people were prepared for the great struggle Of the Revolution for civil and religious liberty. Washington, and the Old Congress, found no truer, braver, or more intelligent supporters and soldiers in that memorable war. Indeed, to these'people and ministers, 'it is not immodest to say, that the land and the world are more indebted than to any, or all others, for the firm establishment and final triumphs of the principles of human freedom involved in the great struggle of the Revolution, and announced so clearly in the Dec laration of 1776.
