Caesar Blackwell (1769-18451): The Work and Times of Central Alabama's Nineteenth-Century Slave-Evangelist.
- Authors
Burton, Gary
- Abstract
The article discusses the work and times of Caesar Blackwell, the central Alabama's nineteenth-century slave-evangelist. Although he lived and died in slavery, his ownership changed from John B. Blackwell to the Alabama Baptist Association (ABA). To the credit of the Alabama Association, it is written that they bought this man and gave him his liberty that he might preach among them the gospel of Christ. The final event that affected the relationship between Caesar and the Baptists of Alabama was the Amistad Case.
