This 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. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XX. Moves to Marietta--A Snowstorm--Experience with Some Preachers--Hotel Experiences--Cave Spring --The Deaf Mutes--Salt Springs Camp Ground. We had a railroad all the way to Rome. When we reached there, brother LaPrade met us at the depot. I knew him and his parents at Appalachicola, when he was a boy. He took us to the parsonage, and although he had his mother, sister, little boy, and sick wife to take care of, he made us comfortable. We looked around and around for a house, but rents were high and houses scarce. I learned that the district only paid the year before about eight hundred dollars, just half the amount paid by the district I had left. I knew I could not pay large rent on that salary. It has been the settled habit of my life to live within my income, and generally a little below it. I have suffered for many of the luxuries of life, but never from debt but once. There came a snowstorm, the deepest snow I ever saw. I finally decided to leave Rome, and try my hand on Marietta; and away through the snow we went. When we reached Kingston the train from Chattanooga was snow-bound, and there was no certainty as to when it would arrive. We could not go to the hotel for fear of being left, and to spend the whole night in the depot was intensely disagreeable. The good brother who ran the depot invited me and my wife and children and three other preachers--Baptist, Episcopal, and Presbyterian--into the back room. My two younger ones had the sore eyes, and my patient wife was doing all she could to take care of the four children. I had on a fine suit of clothes, and not wanting to get them soiled, I wore a large white linen duster--and the snow a foot deep. I was a very unclerical-looking man. It was about two o'clock when the...

Book Description
The centrality of religion in the life of the Old South, the strongly religious nature of the sectional controversy over slavery, and the close affinity between religion and antebellum American nationalism all point toward the need to explore the role of religion in the development of southern sectionalism. In Gospel of Disunion Mitchell Snay examines the various ways in which religion adapted to and influenced the development of a distinctive southern culture and politics before the Civil War, adding depth and form to the movement that culminated in secession. From the abolitionist crisis of 1835 through the formation of the Confederacy in 1861, Snay shows how religion worked as an active agent in translating the sectional conflict into a struggle of the highest moral significance. At the same time, the slavery controversy sectionalized southern religion, creating separate institutions and driving theology further toward orthodoxy. By establishing a biblical sanction for slavery, developing a slaveholding ethic for Christian masters, and demonstrating the viability of separation from the North through the denominational schisms of the 1830s and 1840s, religion reinforced central elements in southern political culture and contributed to a moral consensus that made secession possible.
Southern Crossroads

Pages : 392
Book Description
The South has always been one of the most distinctive regions of the United States, with its own set of traditions and a turbulent history. Although often associated with cotton, hearty food, and rich dialects, the South is also noted for its strong sense of religion, which has significantly shaped its history. Dramatic political, social, and economic events have often shaped the development of southern religion, making the nuanced dissection of the religious history of the region a difficult undertaking. For instance, segregation and the subsequent civil rights movement profoundly affected churches in the South as they sought to mesh the tenets of their faith with the prevailing culture. Editors Walter H. Conser and Rodger M. Payne and the book’s contributors place their work firmly in the trend of modern studies of southern religion that analyze cultural changes to gain a better understanding of religion’s place in southern culture now and in the future. Southern Crossroads: Perspectives on Religion and Culture takes a broad, interdisciplinary approach that explores the intersection of religion and various aspects of southern life. The volume is organized into three sections, such as “Religious Aspects of Southern Culture,” that deal with a variety of topics, including food, art, literature, violence, ritual, shrines, music, and interactions among religious groups. The authors survey many combinations of religion and culture, with discussions ranging from the effect of Elvis Presley’s music on southern spirituality to yard shrines in Miami to the archaeological record of African American slave religion. The book explores the experiences of immigrant religious groups in the South, also dealing with the reactions of native southerners to the groups arriving in the region. The authors discuss the emergence of religious and cultural acceptance, as well as some of the apparent resistance to this development, as they explore the experiences of Buddhist Americans in the South and Jewish foodways. Southern Crossroads also looks at distinct markers of religious identity and the role they play in gender, politics, ritual, and violence. The authors address issues such as the role of women in Southern Baptist churches and the religious overtones of lynching, with its themes of blood sacrifice and atonement. Southern Crossroads offers valuable insights into how southern religion is studied and how people and congregations evolve and adapt in an age of constant cultural change.
