Description:History[ edit ] The Southern Baptist Convention was founded as a pro- slavery denomination in after a dispute over the appropriateness of letting slave-owners be missionaries to Africa. The Baptists never were as anti-slavery as were, for instance, the Quakers or the Methodists , and in the two decades of the Second Great Awakening they gave up pleading for slaves to be freed, [2] instead remaining neutral on the subject of slavery. Neutrality, however, wasn't enough for the slave-owning elites they'd attracted and slave owners insisted on the Baptists condoning slavery by allowing slave owners to be missionaries; this was too much even for the Baptists and they refused. The Southern Baptists then seceded and formed their own denomination. After the American Civil War , black people unsurprisingly had enough of the exclusively white-run and segregated Southern Baptists. They left the Convention in a few waves in the late s, leaving it almost exclusively white.
