This anthology of original essays by historians explores the
religious dimensions of the antebellum sectional conflict over
slavery. Covering such familiar topics as the proslavery argument
and denominational schisms, these essays emphasize the diversity
that existed within regions, states, and denominations; the
importance of local factors in shaping responses to the slavery
controversy; and the powerful pulls toward moderation and unity
that existed within the institutional church. Drawing on the recent
flowering of scholarship on religion, the essays collected here
provide a variety of new approaches, including quantitative
methodologies and a heightened sensitivity to issues of race,
class, and gender.
