I wish to pick the brains of some well studied in ministry and history of specifically the American Colonies era of Christianity.
A while back there was a conservative statement circulating around the internet that laid claim that the success of the American Revolution/ fight for independence from Britain was in large part due to the help and inspiration of what they called the “black robe regiment” an alleged group of church clergy,ministers, pastors, fathers etc who preached to their churches and assemblies about the importance of resistance to government tyranny etc. Circa 1770s. Is there any factual, historical accuracy to this? Did this happen or was it a myth or half truth? Thoughts?
