Prime Minister Horace Walpole said in Parliament, "Cousin America has run off with a Presbyterian parson" (John Witherspoon, president of Princeton, signer of Declaration of Independence)'.
The Presbyterians and the Congregationalists (in NE), played a large role in catalyzing the Revolution (another Presbyterian minister, James Caldwell in NJ, used pages of the bible as wadding when that became scarce for the troops defending Springfield).
There are some that say that without Calvin, there would be no USA. And full disclosure from me: I am not a Presbyterian, although my grand daughter did just graduate from a Presbyterian Church Pre-K.
