How did the Christian Church view slavery before 1845?

Ricki Bradshaw examines how the Second Great Awakening revival in the 19th century led to rapid growth of Baptist and Methodist churches across America. However, disagreements over the issue of slavery resulted in splits within these denominations, with the formation of Southern Baptist and Northern Baptist conventions, as well as a division among Methodists that led to the name "United Methodist Church" today. Bradshaw provides insights into the debates and votes surrounding whether slave owners could serve as missionaries during this pivotal period in American church history.
