Mary Burnham Putnam Baptists and Slavery, 1840-1845

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A large part of the work for this paper was done under the helpful direction of Professor W.E. Dodd at the University of Chicago. Through the courtesy of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville access was given to its minutes of southern conventions and associations, and its files of newspapers. The reason for publication is that some valuable material has been collected, not that any merit is claimed for its treatment.<br><br>Mary Burnham Putnam.
