According to Kidd an Anglican from Wales named Ewer inaccurately spoke about the colonists saying that "in the American wilderness they had lost faith and morality, living like 'infidels and barbarians'" Ewer's statement probably spoke truth, at least in that he thought it was true, if nothing else. Ewer's statement leads me to a couple different questions: My first question is very similar to Josh's question. Essentially, how 'religious' was this war for the British? Ewer, at least, seems to be speaking from a religious viewpoint, but Kidd discredits his statement as inaccurate, and we don't have many examples within God of Liberty about the Brit's religious backing for the war.  

My second question deals with the texts we read a few weeks ago about the Great Awakening's influence on the Revolution. Was the Great Awakening influenced at all by American Indian religions? Did the emphasis on the Holy Spirit that came about during the Great Awakening come from the Indians emphasis on the spirituality of life?

Also, I thought this article was kind of funny and relevant:
