I stand corrected on those particulars. Nevertheless, these were limited examples and not part of a general policy — as the wide scale survival through the Revolution of most colonial era churches indicates.
“the wide scale survival through the Revolution of most colonial era churches indicates.”
I would think so, too. I’ve gone to historic sites all my life (including obscure) and I can’t recall too many church-burnings from the RevWar. Certainly not “on purpose” as in, “we’ll get your churches.”
But there is interesting info here. I guess I get so bogged down in the “order of battle” part I miss some of the more general “social” aspects of it.
