520 |a During the decades before the Civil War, Princeton, New Jersey, was the intellectual center of the American Presbyterian Church. With their traditional, Old School affiliations, the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) and the Princeton Theological Seminary found themselves mainly on the conservative side of the growing disputes over abolitionism, slavery, and race relations. Yet both the town (with its lively and growing free black community) and its centers of learning produced considerable antislavery opinion as well. This article discusses the clashing views on slavery and race in antebellum Princeton, and describes their theological as well as social and political origins. It also details how, by the late 1850s, even conservative opinion had shifted toward antislavery.
