B1 by Richard Alan Humphrey We have often heard that the "real" Civil War was fought in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. We have heard how war split families, with brothers fight- ing brothers, and we know of the horrible economic and political repercussions for the people in Southern Appalachia. However, very little consideration has been given to the effects upon the churches that suffered northern and southern splits between 1843 and 1874. Actually, the Presbyterians' division in 1837 into "Old Light" and "New Light" schools involved the issue of slavery as did the division within Methodism causing the establishment of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of 1843. The Methodists' major split into northern and southern churches over the slavery issue came in 1844. However, the splits of the Methodists did not occur in Southern Appalachia until the 1860's, when men were thrown out of churches and persecuted because of Union sentiments or voluntarily joined black denominations.
