Abstract:
Between the founding of Salem in 1771 as a Moravian community and the outbreak of Civil War, community attitudes went through a transition. The communal sense of 'gemeinschaft' slowly changed during the 19th century to a more business-like attitude of 'gesellschaft.' Secular pressures eroded opposition to slavery on religious and moral grounds, and by the 1850s Moravians came to regard slaves not as persons but as property.

Abstract:
This article looks at the deathbed preparations undertaken in January of 1812 by Benjamin Hawkins, principal agent to the Indians south of Ohio, as he suffered from \"a severe fit of pleurisy,\" with no expectation of recovery. One of those last actions was to legally marry his common-law wife of more than a decade, Lavinia Downs. The episode passed, however, and Hawkins' health was much improved four days later. Shortly after, a letter was written by the Moravian missionary who performed the marriage, Karsten Petersen, detailing the events that had transpired. A reprint of the letter is included.
