Publisher's Synopsis
""Border Methodism and Border Slavery"" is a historical book written by J. Mayland McCarter, originally published in 1858. The book provides a detailed account of the Philadelphia Annual Conference's actions regarding slavery, specifically focusing on the ""border states"" where slavery was still legal. McCarter, a Methodist minister himself, critiques the Conference's decisions and actions towards slavery, arguing that they were not doing enough to combat the institution. He provides historical context and examples of other Methodist conferences that took a more proactive stance against slavery. The book also delves into the political climate of the time, including the upcoming presidential election and the tensions between the North and South. McCarter argues that the Conference's inaction towards slavery could ultimately lead to the dissolution of the Methodist Church as a whole. Overall, ""Border Methodism and Border Slavery"" is a thought-provoking and informative look at the role of religion in the fight against slavery, and the complexities of navigating these issues in a politically charged environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
