GABOR AND TIMEA END UP REITERATING THE VIRTUES OF SECULAR ENLIGHTENMENT DEMOCRACY A FAILED IDEOLOGY
The Whig interpretation of the Anglo British Civil War became one in which the colonists had all been fighting for enlightened contractarian democracy all along.
These were the actual results for colonial civil war American rebels themselves:
Episcopalians had sought to perpetuate the social order of which they were part...but they inherited a society in which the Anglican model had been wholly effaced...Presbyterians and Congregationalists, the most numerous in 1776.. by 1800 Baptists and Methodists had outstripped them all...Deists like Franklin and Jefferson looked forward to a Deistic republic, but by 1800 Deism had been swamped by a massive evangelical revival...New England Calvinist Congregationalism was submerged by the cancerous growth of Unitarianism.
