This book offers a new interpretation of the origins and nature of 19th century liberalism by re-examining the role of religion in Canadian politics. Arguing that Canadian liberalism was rooted in the British tradition of Protestant Dissent, Forbes sheds light on the 19th century religious context that shaped the ideological foundations of Canada.
