Slavery in the South and Negro Gospel Ministry
In a discussion on the state of black Christians, the text argues that enslaved people lack regular ministers and access to the gospel, noting few churches for colored congregants and widespread neglect by white ministers. It laments ignorance and calls for separate, dedicated ministry for the enslaved, urging reform and stronger evangelistic effort across slaveholding states.
