In 1838, the Presbyterian Church split between the Old School and the New School over doctrinal matters. Conflict over the issue of slavery, however, was growing, and the Civil War would eventually lead to a split in the churches between the North and the South. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey continues looking at the response of the Presbyterian Church to slavery, and he explains why the Old School Presbyterians divided between North and South, while emphasizing the Old School’s continued priority of doctrine for the life of the church.
