Liberals keep pushing the fantasy that America started as a multicultural patchwork, where every group played an equal part. They twist the founders’ words to justify endless immigration and the watering down of our heritage, pretending the U.S. was always meant to be a home for the whole world. That’s pure fiction.
The men who forged this republic were bound by a common faith in Christianity, a shared white European ancestry, and a resolve to build a society free from the tyrannies they fled. To understand America, one must confront this reality head-on, for ignoring it invites the very destruction the founders warned against.
The story of young America begins with colonists who crossed the Atlantic seeking refuge from religious persecution and economic hardship in Europe. These were English Puritans, Dutch Reformed Protestants, Scottish Presbyterians, and other Europeans driven by a desire to practice their faith without interference from corrupt crowns and state churches.
They established settlements like Jamestown in 1607 and Plymouth in 1620, where Christian worship formed the core of community life. Laws in these colonies reflected biblical principles, with Sabbath observance mandatory and blasphemy punishable by fine or worse.
By the Revolution, America was still almost entirely white and Protestant. A few Catholics and Jews lived here, but they fit in with the majority culture. Nobody was demanding the country change to suit foreign customs, unlike the so-called progressives today.
George Washington captured this unity in his Farewell Address of 1796, emphasizing the shared bonds that held the young nation together.
"With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes."
George Washington
"You have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles."
Washington's words reveal no celebration of multiculturalism, but a recognition that America's strength lay in its homogeneity of faith and culture. The "slight shades" referred to variations within Christianity, not the inclusion of Islam, Hinduism, or other alien religions that liberals now force upon us.
Breaking down the religious landscape at the time of the founding confirms this beyond a shadow of a doubt. Of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, 52 identified as Protestant Christians, with denominations including Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, and Lutherans. Two were Catholics, and one was a Deist who still acknowledged divine providence.
No Muslims, Buddhists, or atheists sat among them.
The signers of the Declaration of Independence were the same. They were all white men rooted in Judeo-Christian ethics, with many like Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry openly invoking God in their calls for independence.
Jews, though few in number (perhaps 2,500 in the colonies by 1776), supported the Revolution, with figures like Haym Salomon providing crucial financing that helped win the war and create the Unites States. They operated within a Christian framework, respecting the Protestant majority rather than demanding equal or better footing for their separate traditions.
Freedom of religion, enshrined in the First Amendment, had nothing to do with inviting a babel of world faiths into the nation. It addressed the very oppressions the colonists endured under British rule, where the Church of England and the crown colluded to suppress dissenting practices.
In Europe, those who would become the colonists faced fines, imprisonment, and banishment for holding Baptist or Quaker meetings, or for refusing Anglican sacraments. Most of the Southeast United States is still Baptist today.
The founders sought to prevent such state-controlled religion, ensuring no single denomination could wield coercive power over others. This protection applied to "shades of difference" within Christianity, not to opening the doors to Islam or other systems that reject Western values.
Liberals pervert this liberty today to flood our shores with incompatible cultures, but the founders never intended America to be a laboratory for globalist experiments.
The Bill of Rights itself reflects the founders' response to British abuses, codifying freedoms the colonists had been denied. The First Amendment's protections for speech, press, assembly, and petition stemmed from the crown's censorship of colonial newspapers, bans on public gatherings, and trials for seditious libel against critics like Peter Zenger.
The Second Amendment guaranteed the right to bear arms because British forces had disarmed colonists, seizing weapons in Boston and elsewhere to crush resistance. It isn't just for hunting or self-defense, but also for a militia against a tyrannical government should one ever arise.
The Third Amendment barred quartering of troops without consent, recalling how Redcoats occupied private homes before and during the war.
Liberals would try to compare ICE to the redcoats, but that's insanity. ICE is going after illegal aliens, nothing more. The redcoats were stealing food, taking over homes to "camp" in, raping women, and murdering people in cold blood (much like the far-left imported immigrants of today).
The Fourth Amendment's safeguards against unreasonable searches arose from general warrants that allowed officials to ransack homes without cause, as in the Writs of Assistance cases. You've seen the videos, "Do you have a warrant?"
The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Amendments addressed injustices in British courts, where colonists faced double jeopardy, self-incrimination, denied counsel, and cruel punishments like drawing and quartering.
The Ninth and Tenth Amendments reserved rights to the people and states, countering the centralizing tendencies of imperial rule. Every clause was a direct rebuke to the oppressions that drove white Europeans to build a new nation where such tyrannies could not take root.
These founders were all white men of European descent, their ancestries spanning Scandinavian Vikings, Celtic Gaels, Germanic tribes, Normans, Britons, etc, and some traces of Mediterranean influences from Italian and Greek lineages, as well as from the Middle East.
From the English stock of George Washington to the Scottish roots of James Madison, they shared a common racial heritage that fostered trust and cooperation.
No Africans, Asians, or Native Americans signed the Declaration or Constitution, not because of exclusion alone, but because the vision was for a republic rooted in European traditions. Liberals ignore this to push their diversity myth, but the founders built America for their posterity, European-descended Christians who could preserve the liberties they won.
As a descendant of these builders, I can trace my family tree to George Washington on both my father's Owens side and my mother's Finley side. Washington is my 15th cousin 9x removed, and I can name several real immigrant ancestors who helped build America.
There's the Welshman Robert William Owen, my 10th great-grandfather, who sailed from England to Virginia; James Redfern, my 7th great-grandfather, came from Scotland to North Carolina.
Then there's Charles Finley, my 6th great-grandfather, who arrived from Scotland and fought in the American Revolution, and William Randolph, a 10th great-grandfather, who came from England to Virginia around 1680 (280 years before Somalia even existed).
Show me one Somali, Chinese, or Pakistani person who played a direct part in founding America. Their ancestors did nothing to build this country, but liberals still want us to hand over our heritage.
Beyond the great George Washington himself, my family tree connects to at least 19 presidents by blood, not including those through marriages, from Thomas Jefferson to George W. Bush. None of the immigrants trying to claim our history and our ancestors' hard work can prove any connection whatsoever to the founding or building of these great United States of America, not one.
America was, and must stay, a Christian nation built on white European values. We honor the founders by refusing to let the far-left turn us into a multicultural mess.
True unity calls us beyond party lines. America thrives when we stand proud as one people, committed to the principles that made us great.
As John F. Kennedy said in his 1961 inaugural address, "My fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
We need to stop acting like divided tribes and remember we’re heirs to a shared legacy. Defend our Christian roots against those who want to tear them down. That’s the only way to protect freedom for the future and put America first.
