The Origins of Proslavery Christianity
Author: Charles F. IronsPublisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807888893
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
In the colonial and antebellum South, black and white evangelicals frequently prayed, sang, and worshipped together. Even though white evangelicals claimed spiritual fellowship with those of African descent, they nonetheless emerged as the most effective defenders of race-based slavery. As Charles Irons persuasively argues, white evangelicals' ideas about slavery grew directly out of their interactions with black evangelicals. Set in Virginia, the largest slaveholding state and the hearth of the southern evangelical movement, this book draws from church records, denominational newspapers, slave narratives, and private letters and diaries to illuminate the dynamic relationship between whites and blacks within the evangelical fold. Irons reveals that when whites theorized about their moral responsibilities toward slaves, they thought first of their relationships with bondmen in their own churches. Thus, African American evangelicals inadvertently shaped the nature of the proslavery argument. When they chose which churches to join, used the procedures set up for church discipline, rejected colonization, or built quasi-independent congregations, for example, black churchgoers spurred their white coreligionists to further develop the religious defense of slavery.

The Negro in the South, His Economic Progress in Relation to His Moral and Religious Development
Author: Booker T. WashingtonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : African Americans
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Four lectures given as part of an endowed Lectureship on Christian Sociology at Philadelphia Divinity School. Washington's two lectures concern the economic development of African Americans both during and after slavery. He argues that slavery enabled the freedman to become a success, and that economic and industrial development improves both the moral and the religious life of African Americans. Du Bois argues that slavery hindered the South in its industrial development, leaving an agriculture-based economy out of step with the world around it. His second lecture argues that Southern white religion has been broadly unjust to slaves and former slaves, and how in so doing it has betrayed its own hypocrisy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Religious Development of the Negro in Virginia: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Virginia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree, of Doctor of Philosophy Virginia is one of the richest fields for historical research; the Negro question is one of the most pressing of our day; the religious is the most neglected phase of the great Negro problem. It could not seem strange therefore that this study should be undertaken in the face of such a challenge. It is a fact, not without significance, that of the four dissertations issued from the School of History at the University of Virginia, two have had as their subject, the Negro. To the influence of Professor R. H. Dabney, we ascribe this interest. Dr. J. P. McConnell's dissertation, "Negroes and Their Treatment in Virginia from 1865 to 1867," U. Va. 1905, is an intensive study of a strategic period in the life of the Negro, and embraces legal, political, social and religious considerations. This present dissertation, in contradistinction to his, is an intensive study of one phase of the Negro's life in Virginia - the religious - from the date of the landing in America up to the present. The effort is conscientiously made to hew to that mark. Apologists and excoriators might shout the praises of the Negro or hurl at him verbal damnation, yet Time will record the amelioration of his religious condition while in America, as one of the proudest achievements of Anglo-Saxon Missionary energies. In the South, Virginia has taken a prominent part in this transformation or spirit-worshipping savages into worshippers of one God, men and women who sometimes show characters as deeply devout and conscientious as can be found anywhere. Just what factors and influences brought this about I shall endeavor to indicate. In this study nearly a thousand letters have been sent to prominent white citizens, prominent Negro citizens and Negro preachers. The endeavor was to secure evidence from every part of the State. About seventy-five percent of these letters were carefully answered, which might be interpreted to indicate the sensitive, state of public opinion on the subject. Of course, no one could expect that 100 percent of such letters would be answered. Human nature is still human.
