Ron Chernow Quote

The free school is the promoter of that intelligence which is to preserve us as a free nation. With an unaccustomed rhetorical flourish, he affirmed that in the near future the dividing line will not be Mason & Dixons but between patriotism, & intelligence on the one side & superstition, ambition & ignorance on the other.75 He wound up with an eloquent appeal for separating church and state: Encourage free schools and resolve that not one dollar of money appropriated to their support no matter how raised, shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian school . . . Leave the matter of religion to the family circle, the church & the private school support[ed] entirely by private contribution. Keep the church and state forever separate.76
