James Osgood Andrew was a nineteenth-century Methodist Episcopal Church bishop whose possession of slaves generated controversy within the denomination. Andrew became the symbol of the slavery issue that divided the church in 1844 and instigated the separation of northern and southern Methodist Episcopalians the following year. Andrew College in Cuthbert, Georgia was named for him. - Metadata URL:
