Â鶹¹û¶³ associate professor of history Jason Wallace presented at the St. George Tucker Society Annual Scholarly Meeting in Augusta, Ga., earlier this fall.
Dr. Wallace presented a paper on a portion of his book, Catholics, Slaveholders, and the Dilemma of American Evangelicalism, 1835-1860. The paper was entitled “Southern Evangelical Dilemmas.”
“In short, southern evangelicals sought to give religious justification to a conservative social vision, yet, as evangelicals, they held certain Protestant religious presuppositions that undermined their conservatism,” said Wallace.
