Religious Schism as a Prelude to the American Civil War: Methodists, Baptists, and Slavery. Carden, A. Andrews University Seminary Studies, 24(1):13–29, January, 1986. ![Religious Schism as a Prelude to the American Civil War: Methodists, Baptists, and Slavery [pdf]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/pdf.svg "pdf")
Paper abstract bibtex Optimism reigned in early and middle nineteenth-century America. Faith was focused on human potential, and hope was placed in achieving human perfection through the reform of both individual lives and society as a whole. The Protestant churches stimulated reform of every type as they united across denominational lines to bring about the Kingdom of God on earth. Being the moral leaders of antebellum America, the Pro testan t churches unfortunately failed to confront unitedly the slavery issue. The problem was ignored as long as possible, but the 1840s saw schism in the nation's two largest Protestant denominations- the Methodists and the Baptists. The ecclesiastical split of these denominations along geographical lines not only foreshadowed the national political schism of the 1860s, but also contributed to it.
