• Unbeknownst to many, an Irish abolitionist-preacher named James Hickey (1800-1866) planted the first protestant church on Mexican soil in 1864. As an agent of the American Tract Society, Hickey organized missionary campaigns in south Texas and northern Mexico amid the U.S. Civil War. And although Hickey’s abolitionist views are widely documented, few scholars have explored how the violent conflicts over slavery impacted missionary ventures in the borderlands. In this presentation, Dr. Gallardo draws on new research to show how early baptist missions form part of a colonial legacy marked by racial violence and territorial dispossession.
