After the War of 1812, America was filled with tremendous nationalism and as the young country grew, many nations look to it as both an inspiration and a warning.

There is no doubt that religion was viewed differently with black slaves and white slave masters. Religion and the Bible was interpreted differently from what was right and wrong, and what was good and evil.
