Baptists And Slavery, 1840-1845 (1913)

The book ""The Baptists and Slavery, 1840-1845"" by Mary Burnham Putnam was published in 1913. It is a historical account of the Baptist Church's stance on slavery during the years leading up to the American Civil War. The book focuses on the debates and divisions within the church over the issue of slavery, as well as the role of prominent Baptist leaders such as William Carey and Richard Furman in shaping the church's position. Putnam also explores the impact of the Baptist Church's stance on slavery on the broader abolitionist movement and the eventual outcome of the Civil War.
