Planter - Land and slaves

I've added important material, both from Taylor's own account and contemporary writers, about his land and slaveholdings, which effectively put him in the planter class, as defined by modern historians. This provides a more balanced look at the state of the members of the Baptist Church at the time, as they had come to an accommodation with slavery. It also demonstrates the potential for men to advance themselves on the frontier, where land was relatively cheap. In the eighteenth-century movement, early Baptist preachers in the South called for the abolition of slavery. By this time in the nineteenth century, some were rising from relatively lower-class origins to become planters and slaveholders.Parkwells (talk) 16:44, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
