12. Histories of Religious Societies
Materials relative to the attitude of various religious denominations
towards slavery are to be found in the histories of the different church
organizations, such as William Hodgson's The Society of Friends in the
Nineteenth Century, Dr. H. N. McTyeire's History of Methodism, and Dr.
R. E. Thompson's History of the Presbyterian Churches in the United States.
Other works, for example A. C. Applegarth's Quakers in Pennsylvania
and S. B. Weeks' Southern Quakers and Slavery, which, while dealing
with a single denomination, are not to be regarded as denominational
histories in any strict sense, contain points of interest and value.
