The centrality of religion in the life of the Old South, the strongly religious nature of the sectional controversy over slavery, and the close affinity between religion and antebellum American nationalism - all point toward the need to explore the role of religion in the development of Southern sectionalism. This book examines the various ways in which religion adapted to and influenced the development of a distinctive Southern culture and politics before the Civil War, adding depth and form to the movement that culminated in secession.
