The Baptists and Slavery, 1840-1845 #245996

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.
