U.S. Faith History - Confederate Prayer

Here is some more U.S. History from the Library of Congress. It is an etching from the Civil War, showing soldiers in Stonewall Jackson's army at prayer. As President Lincoln said, both sides pray to the same God.

Today we seem to want to deny the faith of our history. Biblical faith or Christian faith were a part of the United States before it was the United States. And this continued after the country was officially formed.
