Relation of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to Slavery is a historical book written by Charles K. Whipple. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the role of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) in relation to slavery in the United States during the 19th century. The ABCFM was a Christian missionary organization that worked to spread Christianity to various parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands.The book explores how the ABCFM's mission to spread Christianity was impacted by the institution of slavery in the United States. Whipple examines the organization's policies and practices in relation to slavery, including how they dealt with slaveholding missionaries and the treatment of enslaved people in missionary communities. The book also discusses the debates and controversies within the ABCFM regarding slavery, including the organization's decision to not take a formal stance on the issue.Overall, Relation of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to Slavery provides a comprehensive look at the complex relationship between Christian missionary work and the institution of slavery in the United States. It sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of American history and offers insights into the ways in which religious organizations grappled with the issue of slavery during a pivotal period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
