John Leland
John Leland, the colorful Baptist itinerant, was one of the most important and fascinating religious figures in early America. He is best remembered for delivering a 1,200-pound "Mammoth Cheese" to Thomas Jefferson's White House, and for negotiating the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the Constitution with James Madison. But Leland was also a tireless revivalist and a dogged advocate of religious freedom for all, an anti-slavery spokesman and unofficial Democratic Party whip, a defender of popular Calvinism and promoter of extreme religious individualism among Baptists. Eric C. Smith explores these and other major themes in this first-ever biography of John Leland, whose story provides a unique window into the remarkable transformations that swept American society from 1760 to 1840.

In this final volume Laycock documents the use of the ConstituÂtion’s Free Speech Clause and Establishment Clause in legal briefs, scholarly and popular articles, House testimonies, and written debates.
