The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in
their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. While the
king, and all in authority under him, were believed to govern in justice
and mercy, according to the laws and constitution derived to them from
the God of nature and transmitted to them by their ancestors, they
thought themselves bound to pray for the king and queen and all the
royal family, and all in authority under them, as ministers ordained of
God for their good; but when they saw those powers renouncing all the
principles of authority, and bent upon the destruction of all the
securities of their lives, liberties, and properties, they thought it
their duty to pray for the continental congress and all the thirteen
State congresses, &c.
The confederate states operated at the larger and smaller government scale size as they do today with the Senate and the House in the legislative branch. Unlike the United States, the Confederate States had delegates they sent to one large government, whereas today each state has the same set up to itself.
We are a Calvinist colony, one that believes in hard work and determination for a better life. In this colony, you will be able to finally celebrate your religion with others who also want too! You will be far away from the Catholic forces looking to take over our Calvinist country, Netherlands. Here you will be safe and sound free to practice your religion, even with no Jesuits there trying to convert you. In our colony, we work to do the best, and this can only be done with the Pre-Destination that was decided by our God.
