This is the companion site to a new US Library of Congress exhibit. It illustrates the importance of religion in the founding and making of America during the 17th through 19th centuries. The site is divided into eight parts, including America as a Religious Refuge, Religion and the American Revolution, and Religion and the New Republic. Each section consists of background information and thumbnail images of manuscript fragments, portraits, book title pages, documents, or other artifacts. These images are contextualized by the accompanying detailed captions and bibliographical information. In addition to the over 200 images, the site contains a complete object list of the exhibition.
