This article looks at the American Missionary Association's objectives in eastern North Carolina where teachers and ministers had come from the North to establish missions among the former slaves after the end of the Civil War with a particular focus on the missionaries' method of religious expression as well as the junctures where northern Congregationalism diverged from southern black Protestantism.

Abstract:
A freedom offered to slaves perhaps lesser known than the Emancipation Proclamation is religious expression. Contraband camps, established by Union troops for former slaves, provided a way for former slaves to openly express Christian faith. Along with African American religious leaders such as James Walker Hood, they helped establish the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. As for churches such as AMEZ, they also provided a sanctuary from racism and sowing ground for the seeds of political representation.
