The centrality of religion in the life of the Old South, the strongly religious nature of the sectional controversy over slavery, and the close affinity between religion and antebellum American nationalism all point toward the need to explore the role of religion in the development of southern sectionalism. In Gospel of Disunion Mitchell Snay examines the various ways in which religion adapted to and influenced the development of a distinctive southern culture and politics before the Civil War, adding depth and form to the movement that culminated in secession. From the abolitionist crisis of 1835 through the formation of the Confederacy in 1861, Snay shows how religion worked as an active agent in translating the sectional conflict into a struggle of the highest moral significance. At the same time, the slavery controversy sectionalized southern religion, creating separate institutions and driving theology further toward orthodoxy. By establishing a biblical sanction for slavery, developing a slaveholding ethic for Christian masters, and demonstrating the viability of separation from the North through the denominational schisms of the 1830s and 1840s, religion reinforced central elements in southern political culture and contributed to a moral consensus that made secession possible.

Excerpt from Minutes of the Fifty-Third Session of the Baptist State Convention, of South Carolina: Held With the Columbia Baptist Church, November 27-30, 1873 The work at Mt. Pleasant has been going on quietly. Our congregations are large and attentive. The adult Bible class and Sunday School are both well attended. The following is a statistical account of Brother Gregory's labors at Mt. Pleasant: Sermons preached, 226; out stations supplied, 5; prayer meet ings attended, 117; persons and families visited, 700; baptized, 13. In his work as an evangelist, he has visited 11 Churches, preached 35 sermons, made 44 religious visits, baptized 8, received 9 for baptism; and at Mt. Pleasant and other places has distributed 211 Bibles and Testaments. Salary from the Ex contive Board. $100. The Board determined at their first meeting to assist in sustaining Brother R. N. Pratt at Abbeville Court House. It will be remembered that a small Church was organized at Abbeville a few years ago, under the patronage of the Abbeville Association. It was wisely determined to build a suitable meeting house, and for the past year the enterprise has been in progress. The walls are up, and enough has been subscribed by reliable persons to cover the building. Will be needed to complete the building according to the original plan. Brother Pratt writes.

Throughout the Civil War, soldiers and civilians on both sides of the conflict saw the hand of God in the terrible events of the day, but the standard narratives of the period pay scant attention to religion. Now, in God's Almost Chosen Peoples, Li

Politics, while always an integral part of the daily life in the South, took on a new level of importance after the Civil War. Today, political strategists view the South as an essential region to cultivate if political hopefuls are to have a chance of winning elections at the national level. Although operating within the context of a secular government, American politics is decidedly marked by a Christian influence. In the mostly Protestant South, religion and politics have long been nearly inextricable. Politics and Religion in the White South skillfully examines the powerful role that religious considerations and influence have played in American political discourse. This collection of thirteen essays from prominent historians and political scientists explores the intersection in the South of religion, politics, race relations, and southern culture from post–Civil War America to the present, when the Religious Right has exercised a profound impact on the course of politics in the region as well as the nation. The authors examine issues such as religious attitudes about race on the Jim Crow South; Billy Graham’s influence on the civil rights movement; political activism and the Southern Baptist Convention; and Dorothy Tilly, a white Methodist woman, and her contributions as a civil rights reformer during the 1940s and 1950s. The volume also considers the issue of whether southerners felt it was their sacred duty to prevent American society from moving away from its Christian origins toward a new, secular identity and how this perceived God-given responsibility was reflected in the work of southern political and church leaders. By analyzing the vital relationship between religion and politics in the region where their connection is strongest and most evident, Politics and Religion in the White South offers insight into the conservatism of the South and the role that religion has played in maintaining its social and cultural traditionalism.
