Synopsis

"Pictures of Slavery in Church and State" written by a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church and a leading U.S. abolitionist at the time, John Dixon Long (1817 – 1894), is considered to be one of the most influential readings in abolitionist circles. Dixon debated in his book the issue of slavery, breaking the silence on what was openly discussed as hypocrisy and cowardice of the Methodist religious hierarchy, given their founders' adamant prescriptions against slavery in the early doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Contents: What Is Southern Slavery, and Who Are Slaves Methodist Episcopal Church and Slavery The Conference Report The Mischievous Colt Abolitionist Love of Military Titles Going in Debt Aunt Phillis Popular Preachers in the South Rum and Slavery The Wicked Slave The Foreign Slave-trade The Great American Republic Tobacco and Slavery Slavery and Novels The Baltimore Conference Slavery and White Labor Maryland Hospitality Personal Incidents The Fourth of July A Dying Babe in Jail Testimony of John Wesley Against Slavery
