most republicans in the late 1800 were protestants who their party as the defender of traditional American values true or false?

Who in the world could speak of traditional American Values in 1890? American was a very young country.

Then, the Republican party was a Northern Yankee party, It was pro-business, supporting banks, the gold standard, railroads, and tariffs to protect industrial workers and industry. My guess is today a lot of Republicans would indeed cite these as tradtional values, because they still are for business, against the Federal Reserve, support import tariffs (Buy American Act). However, they are much against protecting industrial workers health, retirement, retirement benefits, and right to strike.

So the question is what is traditional American Values, in the late 1800s?

I believe that traditional American Values include: Right of free assembly, right of due process, right to form organizations, including labour, the right of choosing ones religion, and the right to privacy. A lot of folks would and do disagree with me.

True. To arrive at this answer, we can break down the question into a few parts.

1. Timeframe: "late 1800s." This refers to the period between 1800 and 1899.

2. Political Affiliation: "most Republicans." To determine the beliefs of most Republicans during this time, we need to examine the general sentiment within the party.

3. Religious Affiliation: "protestants." This refers to individuals who follow Protestant Christianity. It implies that the majority of Republicans in the late 1800s were Protestant.

4. Perception of Party: "defender of traditional American values." This suggests that Republicans were seen as champions of established American principles and customs.

Considering these components, the statement that "most Republicans in the late 1800s were Protestants who viewed their party as the defender of traditional American values" is true. The Republican Party during this era often embraced Protestantism and positioned itself as a protector of traditional American values.
