DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III. 1826. The Mississippi Conference met in Washington, Miss., December 8, 1825, Bishops Roberts and Soule present. William Winans was again elected Secretary. The old Methodist church being too small for Conference congregations and the new church not yet ready for occupation, we accepted gratefully the offer of the commodious Baptist church for our public religious services. The Conference room was a small office on Main Street, about the center of the town. The members of the Conference were mainly quartered in town, but the probationers were sent into the surrounding country. Every preacher from a distance came on horseback, and our horses were distributed among the planters in the vicinity without charge. The first day or two the probationers and local preachers were not admitted into the Conference room as spectators. When not attending church, we stood around outside to see what little we could see and hear what little we could hear and guess at the balance. Why our elder brethren of those days treated the probationers for membership in the Conference in this way, we are at a loss to decide. It would seem reasonable to us, as those on trial expected soon to become members of Conference, that their presence as spectators ought to have been promptly invited, to afford them opportunities for learning the routine of business before being required to take part in it, and to profit by the incidental remarks of the bishops and other ministers of experience. After the suspense of a day or so, the undergraduates were invited to back seats in the Conference room as spectators, which we very gladly accepted. This was our first sight of'an Annual Conference in session. We remember the incidents of that Conference as though they had...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Mind of the Master Class tells of America's greatest historical tragedy. It presents the slaveholders as men and women, a great many of whom were intelligent, honorable, and pious. It asks how people who were admirable in so many ways could have presided over a social system that proved itself an enormity and inflicted horrors on their slaves. The South had formidable proslavery intellectuals who participated fully in transatlantic debates and boldly challenged an ascendant capitalist ('free-labor') society. Blending classical and Christian traditions, they forged a moral and political philosophy designed to sustain conservative principles in history, political economy, social theory, and theology, while translating them into political action. Even those who judge their way of life most harshly have much to learn from their probing moral and political reflections on their times - and ours - beginning with the virtues and failings of their own society and culture.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis “superbly researched and engaging” (The Wall Street Journal) true story about five boys who were kidnapped in the North and smuggled into slavery in the Deep South—and their daring attempt to escape and bring their captors to justice belongs “alongside the work of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Edward P. Jones, and Toni Morrison” (Jane Kamensky, Professor of American History at Harvard University). Philadelphia, 1825: five young, free black boys fall into the clutches of the most fearsome gang of kidnappers and slavers in the United States. Lured onto a small ship with the promise of food and pay, they are instead met with blindfolds, ropes, and knives. Over four long months, their kidnappers drive them overland into the Cotton Kingdom to be sold as slaves. Determined to resist, the boys form a tight brotherhood as they struggle to free themselves and find their way home. Their ordeal—an odyssey that takes them from the Philadelphia waterfront to the marshes of Mississippi and then onward still—shines a glaring spotlight on the Reverse Underground Railroad, a black market network of human traffickers and slave traders who stole away thousands of legally free African Americans from their families in order to fuel slavery’s rapid expansion in the decades before the Civil War. “Rigorously researched, heartfelt, and dramatically concise, Bell’s investigation illuminates the role slavery played in the systemic inequalities that still confront Black Americans” (Booklist).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow Methodist settlers in the American West acted as agents of empire In the early years of American independence, Methodism emerged as the new republic’s fastest growing religious movement and its largest voluntary association. Following the contours of settler expansion, the Methodist Episcopal Church also quickly became the largest denomination in the early American West. With Sacred Capital, Hunter Price resituates the Methodist Episcopal Church as a settler-colonial institution at the convergence of “the Methodist Age” and Jefferson’s “Empire of Liberty.” Price offers a novel interpretation of the Methodist Episcopal Church as a network through which mostly white settlers exchanged news of land and jobs and facilitated financial transactions. Benefiting from Indigenous dispossession and removal policies, settlers made selective, strategic use of the sacred and the secular in their day-to-day interactions to advance themselves and their interests. By analyzing how Methodists acted as settlers while identifying as pilgrims, Price illuminates the ways that ordinary white Americans fulfilled Jefferson’s vision of an Empire of Liberty while reinforcing the inequalities at its core.
