The main purpose of this organization was to abolish slavery, to educate African Americans, to promote racial equality, and to promote Christian values. Its members and leaders were of both races and chiefly affiliated with Congregationalist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches. ==History== The American Missionary Association was started by members of the American Home Missionary Society (AHMS) and the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), who were disappointed that their first organizations refused to take stands against slavery and accepted contributions from slaveholders. From the beginning the leadership was integrated: the first board was made up of 12 men, four of them black.〔 One of its primary objectives was to abolish slavery. The AMA (American Missionary Association) was actually one of the organizations responsible for pushing slavery onto the national political agenda. The organization started the ''American Missionary'' magazine, published from 1846 through 1934. (Cornell University Library has editions accessible online in its ''Making of America'' digital library.〔("The Missionary Magazine" (1878-1901) ), ''Making of America'', Cornell University Library, accessed 3 Mar 2009〕) Among its acheivements was the founding of anti-slavery churches. For instance, the abolitionist Owen Lovejoy was among the Congregational ministers of the AMA who helped start 115 anti-slavery churches in Illinois before the American Civil War, aided by the strong westward migration.〔Clifton H. Johnson, "The Amistad Incident and the Formation of the American Missionary Association", ''New Conversations,'' Vol. XI (Winter/Spring 1989), pp. 3-6〕〔(Paul Simon, "Preface", Owen Lovejoy, ''His Brother's Blood: Speeches and Writings, 1838-1864'' ), edited by William Frederick Moore and Jane Anne Moore, University of Illinois Press, 2004, accessed 27 January 2011〕 Members of the AMA began their support of education for blacks before the Civil War, and they recruited teachers for the numerous contraband camps that developed in the South during the war. By war's end, there were 100 contraband camps, and many had AMA teachers. The AMA also served the Roanoke Island Freedmen's Colony (1863–1867). Located on an island occupied by Union troops, the colony was intended to be self-sustaining. It was supervised by Horace James, a Congregational chaplain appointed by the Army as "Superintendent for Negro Affairs in the North Carolina District". The first of 27 teachers who volunteered through the AMA was his cousin, Elizabeth James.〔 By 1864 the colony had more than 2200 residents, and both children and adults filled the classrooms in the several one-room schools, as they were eager for learning. The missionary teachers also evangelized and helped provide the limited medical care of the time.〔("The Roanoke Island Freedmen's Colony" ), provided by National Park Service, at North Carolina Digital History: LEARN NC, accessed 11 November 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Missionary Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
