Synopsis

Border Methodism and Border Slavery is a historical book written by J. Mayland McCarter in 1858. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the stance taken by the Philadelphia Annual Conference regarding slavery in the border states of the United States. The author presents a detailed account of the Conference's discussions, debates, and resolutions on the issue of slavery, highlighting the tensions and conflicts that arose between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions within the Methodist Church.McCarter argues that the Philadelphia Annual Conference's position on slavery was shaped by its geographical location on the border between the North and South. He contends that the Conference's leaders were torn between their commitment to the Methodist Church's anti-slavery principles and their desire to maintain good relations with their pro-slavery counterparts in the South. The book provides a critical review of the Conference's actions, and the author argues that its failure to take a firm stand against slavery was a betrayal of its moral and religious principles.Border Methodism and Border Slavery is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex relationship between religion and slavery in the United States in the mid-19th century. It is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history of the Methodist Church, the abolitionist movement, and the broader struggle for civil rights and social justice in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
