Religious Tests in New Hampshire Revisions Stir Debate
A detailed account disputes charges that General Pierce and the Democratic Party defended Catholic religious tests in New Hampshire. It traces 1784 1791 constitutional history, the 1850 revision convention, and 1851 votes. It argues Pierce consistently opposed religious tests, led calls to abolish them, and notes Whig opposition and press bias shaping public opinion.
