“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.
About every five years, I take up reading about the Revolution and the making of the Constitution. Every time, I find new aspects that surprise me.
