Negro Religious Leadership On The Southern Seaboard: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, And Georgia 1830-1861. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162992099)

""Negro Religious Leadership On The Southern Seaboard: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, And Georgia 1830-1861"" is a non-fiction book by William R. Rigell that explores the role of African American religious leaders in the southern United States during the period leading up to the Civil War. The book focuses on five states - Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia - and analyzes the ways in which black preachers and other religious figures used their positions to resist slavery, promote education and literacy, and advocate for civil rights. Rigell draws on a range of primary sources, including church records, slave narratives, and contemporary newspapers, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of the complex and often contradictory role of religion in the lives of enslaved and free black people in the antebellum South. The book sheds light on the ways in which African American religious leaders both challenged and reinforced the social and political structures of the slaveholding South, and provides valuable insights into the history of African American religion, politics, and culture in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
