[New Englanders intensely self-identified with ancient Israel-from the first days of settlement in early 17th century (Israel in the wilderness) to the days of the American Revolution, when New England’s “black regiment” of clergymen incited the Revolution as a religious duty,]
If anyone is looking for a good program, Pastor and Oklahoma State Representative DAN FISHER’S presentation of “Bringing Back the Black Robed Regiment” brings the Revolutionary War to life! Fisher also displays his personal Revolutionary War Collection.

I have had the opportunity to meet and to listen to Pastor Fisher more than once. He is a compelling and engaging speaker, and I found his presentations fascinating and very well researched. I also have his books on this subject Bringing Back the Black Robed Regiment Volumes 1 & 2 (though they are currently sitting in my "read this next" queue), copies of which I purchased as a gift for my Socialist "minister" brother-in-law, though I have no reason to believe that he ever even opened the covers.
