Letters from an American Farmer by J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur (1782)
"The Quakers are the only people who retain a fondness for their own mode of worship; for be they ever so far separated from each other, they hold a sort of communion with the society, and seldom depart from its rules, at least in this country. Thus all sects are mixed as well as all nations; thus religious indifference is imperceptible disseminated from one end of the continent to the other; which is at present one of the strongest characteristics of the Americans."
