ROBERT HALL MORRISON PAPERS, #1131, 1820-1888
Correspondence and financial and miscellaneous papers of Morrison, Presbyterian minister
and educator of Lincoln County, North Carolina. The bulk of the correspondence regards church
matters and includes discussion of Morrison's abhorrence of slavery and his support of the
Colonization Society in Sierra Leone (1820s). Letters also discuss the low price of slaves in
North Carolina and Morrison's advocacy of cotton and woolen mills as a replacement for the
slave-based cotton industry (1837-1840) and the buying and selling of slaves (1820-1834).
