Oh, I agree. I'm just saying that the manifestations of the Spirit really came after the 2nd Great Awakening and the appearance of these itinerant ministers. Indeed, the old Anglican/Episcopalian way was to NOT show your emotions.

Your analysis sounds spot on to me. Good luck convincing the naysayers that it was stoicism and not satanism the founders were practicing.
They would rather believe the absolute worst of the "dead white men" who created our country. Makes it much easier to rationalize their contempt of the faithful.
