The founding fathers added the propositional dimension to American identity at the time of the Revolution. How else were they going to justify themselves in rebelling against the British monarchy?

We really only came around to accepting and integrating the propositional dimension of identity into a concept of ourselves at the time of the American Revolution.

For much of our history we defined ourselves in racial, religious, ethnic, and cultural terms, as well as in propositional or creedal terms.
