Citizens of Heaven and of the United States: Black Protestants in the Age of Emancipation
(Academic)
Prof. Charles Irons (Elon University).
Black southerners in the Civil War era sought more than freedom; they also fought for full membership in both the body politic and in churches so many of them attended. Considering Black Southerners' ecclesiastical choices alongside their political ones enriches our understanding of the great transitions accompanying the end of the war. Sponsored by the Residential College at West AJ, the Dept. of Religion & Culture, & the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies.
