History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland
Seeds of Liberty
An Independent People
In episode two of An Independent People, William Crawley travels to America. He uncovers the story of the Ulster Presbyterian minister who struck the first blow for American religious freedom and became the father of the American Presbyterian church.
He celebrates the extraordinary contribution made by Ulster Presbyterian's to America's struggle for liberty - a contribution enshrined in the Declaration of Independence - and he uncovers how revolution in America and France inspired radical Presbyterian's in Ulster to rise up against the Crown in 1798.
