The American Missionary — Volume 35, No. 3, March 1881

"The American Missionary — Volume 35, No. 3, March 1881" by Various is a glimpse into the late 1800s, acting as a magazine zeroing in on the American Missionary Association's work. It examines their educational and religious goals aimed at helping groups on the edge, like formerly enslaved people and Native Americans. The pages hold talks about race issues, school plans, missionary journeys, and local projects in a post-Civil War America. The beginning sets the stage by looking at different topics, such as how views in the South were changing toward African Americans, and how important education was for equality. Further, there are discussions on the role of churches in tackling community problems. The beginning paragraphs show the journal's main idea: helping those who are not privileged through education and spiritual guidance during changing times in America.
