I spent a few minutes fact checking. Here’s what I found.

Patrick Henry

There is no evidence that Henry authored this statement. It actually comes from a 1956 article mentioning his Christian faith, published in “The Virginian” magazine.

Fact Check:

Contrary to the claims of the Facebook post, Henry was not a ratifier of the U.S. Constitution. He refused to attend the 1787 Constitutional Convention and strongly opposed the document’s ratification, believing that it insufficiently protected individual and states’ rights.

John Quincy Adams’ quote

Actually written by John Wingate Thornton, wherein he states,

“It is an interesting fact, in this connection, that the very able and learned defence of the ecclesiastical polity of New England, written by the Rev. John Wise, of Ipswich, one of the victims of the despotism of the infamous Andros, in 1687, was republished in the year 1772, as a sound political document for the times, teaching that “Democracy is Christ’s government in Church and in State.” Thus the church polity of New England begat like principles in the state. The pew and the pulpit had been educated to self-government. They were accustomed “to Consider.” The highest glory of the American Revolution, said John Quincy Adams, was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.

Thornton stated it, whether Quincy Adams ever shared the thought — who knows.

Where are the other quotes from?
