Abstract:
After the Church of England was established in North Carolina in 1715, there were several disobedient groups to its authority, including Quakers and Baptists. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG) sent several missionaries to assist in evangelizing the colonies during this period. One such missionary, Reverend Michael Smith, preached in both South and North Carolina and was the center of several ignoble and dramatic tales.
