George Washington's Inaugural Address (April 30, 1789)
Today's history is politically-correct, revised, and edited to such a manner to exclude any references to God. Many famous Godly leaders go virtually unacknowledged. Revisionism is employed to subvert American culture and society--the revisionist will either not use primary sources or leave out important sections to give a different opinion then what author or founder intended to convey. Many of our founding fathers were devout Christians that practiced their faith and did not establish a secular Republic. John Adams declared: "The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity." John Calvin (July 10, 1509--May 27, 1564) was a French Protestant theologian during the Protestant Reformation and his teachings were instrumental in the founding of this country. Dr. E. W. Smith stated the following about the influence of John Calvin:
If the average American citizen were asked, who was the founder of America, the true author of our great Republic, he might be puzzled to answer. We can imagine his amazement at hearing the answer given to this questions by the famous German historian, Ranke, one of the profoundest scholars of modern times. Says Ranke, 'John Calvin was the virtual founder of America.'
Also, the phrase "separation of church and state" appears in no founding document, but the social activists still like to invoke the phrase. (Thomas Jefferson was an ambassador in France when the Constitution was framed! He was not part of the constitutional Convention. Yes, Jefferson was not an exclusive authority on the First Amendment.) This is a recent phenomenon by the Courts in quoting Thomas Jefferson on the First Amendment.
The First Amendment simply states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
The true history of this country was taught in American textbooks for the last 150 years.
(Note: There were some teachings by the founding fathers--who were influenced by the "Enlightenment"--that were humanistic in nature such as our rights were "natural and inalienable." The Biblical idea is not natural rights, but imputed rights. These are compatible with liberty and justice--natural law is a failure because "oughts" cannot be derived from "ises." In other words, the conclusion of an argument cannot have any terms that are not found in its premises).

Faith Defenders is not a history site per se; however, some of the books do relate to history or political science. I recommend: "When is it Right to Fight" (the best book on the Christians' response to war and self-defense) and soon to be published book dealing with the history of Natural Theology, Natural Law and Eastern Orthodoxy. - http://www.christiancadre.org/historic.php
Christian Colligation of Apologetics Debate Research & Evangelism (Note: This website is a resource guide to many sites and topics (archaeology, church history, etc.--however, not everything on the apologetic sites is promoting "Sola Scriptura", but the false teaching of "Natural Theology." In other words, some of the authors are promoting that a person can determine truth by "Human Reason")--see website below on "Natural Theology." - http://www.faithdefenders.com/ministry/articles/apologetics/process_theology/
