Southern Baptist Church

On 8 May 1845, in Augusta, Georgia, the Southern Baptist Conference was separated from a three - year meeting. However, only the domestic and international mission groups are involved in this separation. Many churches in the south continue to purchase teaching materials from the school on Sunday from the American Baptist Publishing Association in Philadelphia. According to H. Leon McBeth, the proposal of the Southern Baptist printing project received much opposition especially in the early stages of the SBC. Many people believe that the new plan is unfounded because ABPS remains neutral to the slavery problem.

In the 1830s, the tension between the northern and southern Baptist churches began to rise. Southern Baptist's support for slavery is due to economic and social reasons. But the Baptist factions in the north assert that God is not "forgiving races better than other races". On the other hand, people in the south believe that God wants to divide races. Finally, around 1835, began to complain that the southern states were underestimated by the allocation of funds for missionary work.

The Southern Baptist Conference was established mainly to allow slave owners in the south to serve as foreign missionaries and send missionaries from the southern churches. About 15 years later, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary was established and provided academic work to these churches. When the civil war interrupted the course at the southern seminary, teachers occupied the status of the federation. James P. Boyce and John A. Broadus became pastors of the EFF. At the end of the war, the seminary started from where it stopped and eventually moved to Louisville, Kentucky - a majority of the border towns escaped the destruction of war.

After the war free people were drawn out from the white church to make an independent church. Most blacks left the Southern Baptist Church and drastically reduced their membership. They made an independent black Baptist church. By 1895, they founded the Black Baptist National Association and many Black Baptist Baptist Societies in the Black Church. Furthermore, independent black sects such as the African Methodist Church, established in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the beginning of the 19th century, and the Zion Church of Africa Methodist Church, established in New York City, sent missionaries to the south after the war. They quickly gathered thousands of converts and founded a new church in the south. The congregation in the south also affected these sects.
