Gospel of Disunion examines the ways in which religion influenced
the development of a distinctive Southern culture and politics
before the Civil War, translating the secessionist movement into a
struggle of the highest moral significance. It explores such topics
as the religious pro-slavery argument and the slaveholding ethic
for Christian masters, the denominational schisms of the 1830s and
1840s that divided Southern Protestants along sectional lines, and
the distinctive religious rationale for secession. This book is the
first major attempt to fully explore the relationship between
religion and the origins of Southern nationalism in all these
manifestations.
