Abstract

This thesis examines the beginning of the Baptist movement in colonial North Carolina, with particular emphasis upon the Separate Baptist movement under the leadership of the Reverend Shubal Stearns. This thesis too recounts the political, social, and religious tensions that existed in pre-Revolutionary North Carolina and examines the role that the regulator movement and the Battle of Alamance would play in stifling the evangelistic efforts of the Separate Baptists in the frontier regions of the colony during that period. This thesis argues that the Separate Baptist movement in the South (the precursor of the Southern Baptist Convention) was birthed through the revivalist efforts of Shubal Stearns.
