"The American Revolution was a struggle not only for independence, but for the lands of Native Americans. The jewel in this conflict was the upstate New York domain of the Iroquois Six Nations, where fertile river valleys were a magnet for farmers weary of New England's stubborn soil." "While at first intentionally neutral, the Iroquois were soon forced to choose sides between either rebel or British forces. Seeds of Empire recreates the events surrounding General John Sullivan's scorched-earth campaign against the Six Nations of the American Indians of New York and the Eastern territories in 1779, following the surrender of General John Burgoyne's entire British army at the Battle of Saratoga. Abandoned by both the rebels and the British at the end of the revolution and devastated by the ravages of war, the Iroquois found themselves powerless to resist the post-Revolutionary takeover and peopling of their heartland by the new American nation."--Jacket.

A nationally powerful reformer, editor, church leader, and author, Leonard Bacon (1802-1881) influenced the thinking of northern Protestants for more than fifty years. In this detailed biography, Hugh Davis offers the first scholarly treatment of Bacon's life and work. Convinced that he was obligated to educate the American people on a broad range of social, political, and theological issues, Bacon, a Congregational minister, actively sought to connect his church and community to the larger world of organized benevolence, religious and reform journalism, social activism, and scholarship. The son of New England Congregational missionaries to the native Americans on the Michigan frontier, he also endeavored to extend evangelical religion and New England ideas and institutions to the rest of the nation and even overseas. Offering new insights into the nineteenth-century Protestant ministry, the evangelical mentality, and the efforts of Americans in Bacon's generation to address the moral and social issues of their time, Leonard Bacon will prove an invaluable contribution to American religious, social, and political history.--(Source of description unspecified.)
