Union Baptists

Baptist churches and associations, especially in border states, were rent asunder by this national conflict.Many pro-Union Primitive Baptists joined Union Leagues, and were expelled from their churches and associations.The Union Baptists mirror many traits of other Appalachian primivistic sects, such as feet washing, river baptisms, and impromptu chanted sermons.The old practice of lining hymns is reserved for use preceding communion and feet washing.The geographical distribution of these churches is in 8 counties in Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
