"The American Missionary — Volume 32, No. 04, April 1878" by Various is a historical magazine that provides a view into the late 1800s, telling of the American Missionary Association’s work with different groups of people. It zeroes in on African Americans in the South after slavery ended, Native Americans, and Chinese immigrants living in the United States. Inside, it gives attention to speeches, like one from Alexander H. Stephens about freeing slaves, and conversations about church projects in the South.
