  SCHOOL: The Story of American Public Education
Unshakable faith, political savvy and indefatigable energy were the assets possessed by John Hughes, the first Archbishop of New York.
After initial failed attempts at finding a conciliatory solution to the problem, Hughes took the offensive in public speeches, sermons and writings during the 1840s, demanding public funds for Catholic schools.
Hughes was unsuccessful in obtaining taxpayer dollars for religious schools, but his struggles and the fiery debates between Hughes and members of New York’s prominent Protestant establishment helped to set in motion the secularization of American public schools, a process that began in the 19th century, and continues to this day.

  Father John Hughes
And just as John Wesley, the founder of Methodism in the late 18th century, had sparked a change in the culture of the English working class that made it unusually industrious and virtuous, so too a clergyman was the catalyst for the cultural change that liberated New York's Irish from their underclass behavior.
Hughes once remarked that "the Catholic Church is a church of discipline," and Father Richard Shaw, Hughes' most recent biographer, believes that the comment gives a glimpse into the inner core of his beliefs.
Hughes and Ives made it clear that these children were the community's responsibility; their own Irish parents--not the nativists or the unfeeling city--had abandoned them to their plight.

And just as John Wesley, the founder of Methodism in the late eighteenth century, had sparked a change in the culture of the English working class that made it unusually industrious and virtuous, so too a clergyman was the catalyst for the cultural change that liberated New York’s Irish from their underclass behavior.
Hughes believed that the relentless barrage of anti-Catholic prejudice that greeted them in their new land was demoralizing the already disadvantaged immigrants and holding back their progress.

John Hughes was an Irishman, an immigrant and a poor farmer’s son.
In fact, as Hughes biographer Father Richard Shaw pointed out, "the entire slant of the teaching was very much anti-Irish and very much anti-Catholic." The curriculum referred to deceitful Catholics, murderous inquisitions, vile popery, Church corruption, conniving Jesuits and the pope as the anti-Christ of Revelations.
When Hughes learned a similar pogrom, beginning with an assault upon Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral, was planned in New York, he called upon the Catholic manhood of New York to rise to the defense of their churches and he armed them.
