Thank you, it’s great to have the assistance of putting it all in it’s proper perspective. You explain it all so perfectly.
As you know, I post factual history when I think it's needed and sadly, it seems to be needed a LOT, on some threads.
I had known about revival meetings, but I had a class in college that had a whole section on the early revival trend and the "CIRCUIT RIDERS"; most of whom were Methodist ministers. Little did I realize, all those many decades ago, that I would be posting about this subject on a political thread. LOL
