[ SOLD OUT ] PINHEIRO, J. C., Missionaries of Republicanism. A Religious History of the Mexican-American War. Oxford University Press, 2014. 256p. Hardback. Series: Religion in America. This book is essential reading for students of the Mexican War as well as American political culture. Pinheiro is especially strong in documenting how Protestant Anglo-Saxonism shaped political discourse throughout the conflict but also conditioned military decisions and the wartime experiences of countless Protestant and Catholic soldiers. Although scholars have long recognized the influence of anti-Catholicism in antebellum society, Pinheiro convincingly demonstrates that anti-Catholic Anglo-Saxonism sparked militant nativism long before the late nineteenth century.
