Excerpt from The Struggle for Religious Liberty in North Carolina, With Special Reference to the JewsThe Old proverb that prejudice is the daughter of ignorance is strikingly illustrated in the history Of religious liberty in the original Colonies. Those Colonies where Jews had settled in numbers were among the first to adopt the principle Of civil equality, while those where the Jew was known little more than in name were the last to accept it.In justice it must be said, however, that the great principle Of liberty of conscience had been adopted by practically all the original States even prior to the Revolution. Catholics, Jews, Mahommedans and even heathens were alike protected in their respective beliefs.Nevertheless, a few of the original States prescribed a religious test for Office. In these, Catholics, Jews, and sev eral other sects were precluded from, attaining political honors.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
