This study examined the religious content of 67 American history textbooks which were widely used in secondary schools during the years 1865-1935. The purpose of this study way to determine what textbooks included about America's religious history. The need for such a study was based upon the lack of adequate information detailing the contents of textbooks during this period of American history. In order to determine that a textbook was widely used I examined numerous witnesses, such as school surveys and school reports, which testified to its popularity.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study examined the religious content of 67 American history textbooks which were widely used in secondary schools during the years 1865-1935. The purpose of this study way to determine what textbooks included about America's religious history. The need for such a study was based upon the lack of adequate information detailing the contents of textbooks during this period of American history. In order to determine that a textbook was widely used I examined numerous witnesses, such as school surveys and school reports, which testified to its popularity.
520 $a The religious content of textbooks was recorded and divided into distinct categories. A total of 61 categories (religious topics) were identified. Comparisons of textbooks revealed that textbooks from the twentieth century contained substantially more of these categories, and they provided a more thorough presentation of these categories. Most of the religious content of these textbooks had to do with the colonial era. Textbooks from both the nineteenth and the twentieth century generally provided an inadequate presentation of religion in American history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
520 $a Earlier textbooks from the nineteenth century (1865-1879) presented America as the story of a Christian nation under the providential care of God. America was founded upon Christian truth and morality, and the preservation of the nation depended upon the continued blessing of God. Later textbooks (1880-1935) gradually eliminated the distinctive Christian features of this study and substituted a civil religion as the foundation of the American nation. Textbooks in the later nineteenth century and twentieth century emphasized the development of a democratic nation in which religion was important because it had learned to tolerate different beliefs and because it produced moral, loyal, and obedient citizens. This civil religion placed the democratic community at the center of the citizen's devotion and loyalty. It used religion to further the democratic state's purposes. Public education was the primary agency by which democratic ideals were to be passed on to the next generation. Religious content in twentieth-century textbooks was not reduced, but it was used for different purposes and to present a different American story.
