Forty years hence evangelicals became front page news and dominated interactions on social media for their support of Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s candidate for the presidency. But Carter’s Christian commitment, defined as ‘evangelical’, aroused curiosity and brought the movement to the attention of America’s cultural gatekeepers. Prior to this, few people in the upper echelons of government, education or media knew what an evangelical was, let alone what they believed or stood for. The impetus behind this media splash was the nomination of Jimmy Carter – a Southern Baptist Sunday School teacher, peanut farmer, and governor of Georgia – as the Democratic Party’s candidate for President.

Bruce’s ability to survive and prosper depended on his political and military acumen in taking advantage of existing political divisions and the enlisting of popular support bolstered by English repression. These movements merged as one, assisted by Robert I, due to factors including the political polarization of Scotland created by the murder of Comyn within the wider scenario of the Anglo-Scottish war. However, these factors all revolve around the separate, converging movements of Bruce seeking support for the seizure of the Scottish throne and which of a patriotic cause associated with the community of the realm seeking to overthrow English overlordship claims. The factors which enabled Bruce’s cause to survive and prosper between the murder of John Comyn on 10 February 13 are multifarious and inter-linked. ![]() |
