In the years leading up to the tragic conflict of the American Civil War, many pastors in the southeast were fierce advocates of the institution of slavery. Among those advocates in the Presbyterian tradition was one of its most gifted preachers, Benjamin Morgan Palmer. Included among Palmer's recorded sermons is the text of one delivered at First Presbyterian Church in New Orleans on Thanksgiving Day, November 29, 1860.
