Evangelical States of the USA

Shortly after the reformation of the New USA in 2030, as a confederation of ten highly independent states, four of those states (Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky) amended their state constitutions, establishing Evangelical Christianity as their state religions. Collectively, these states became known as the Evangelical States of the USA.

Readers are invited to submit potential Holopedia and/or surviving Wikipedia entries on the history of Evangelical Christianity in the Americas. Of particular interest are:
(1) the emergence of evangelical Christianity as a political force in the original USA in the early 21st Century
(2) the very different role evangelical Christianity played in Latin America, where it became a force for democratic change in previously oligarchic nations
