Overview

"The American Missionary — Volume 35, No. 10, October 1881" by Various is a historical publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a periodical focused on the activities and discussions pertinent to the American Missionary Association, which aimed to promote the Christian faith among marginalized groups, including freedmen, Native Americans, and Chinese immigrants. The contents offer insights into the missionary efforts and educational initiatives during a time of significant social change and upheaval in the United States. The opening of this issue highlights a variety of topics within the missionary work, from reports about educational institutions like Talladega College and Berea College to updates on the challenges missionaries faced in Africa and among Native American groups. It discusses the importance of education for the African American community, the accomplishments of missionaries, and calls for financial support to sustain these efforts. Noteworthy mentions include personal accounts, letters from missionaries, and details on fundraising initiatives, emphasizing the need for moral and educational uplift for the populations they served. The beginning thus sets the stage for a deep exploration of the intersection of faith, social justice, and community development in post-Civil War America.
