'The trial that gripped the nation in the 1870s - there's always one - was newspaper editor Theodore Tilton's lawsuit against his mentor and pastor, the famous abolitionist minister who preached about "God's love," Reverend Henry Ward Beecher, for "criminal conversation."

Whether this history of legislating sex is essentail to the American founding is unclear, but the Judeo-Christian influence on legislating sexual mores is undeniable and, as this chapter concedes, can be legitimately claimed by Christian nationalists.
