Summary Introduction

Introduction

Disestablishment is when the political influence of established religions is successfully challenged. The first period began in 1791 with the ratification of the Bill of Rights, which established freedom of and from religion. The next disestablishment period occurred with a large influx of Catholic immigrants between 1890 and 1920 that challenged the Protestant hold on power. The third period happened during the Vietnam war era in the 1960s and 1970s when people experimented with alternate approaches to religion. Conservative movements gained strength from their strong reaction against the third disestablishment.
