Frederick Law Olmsted [whose] 'Journey in the Seabound Slave States' describes the religious life of the common people of the southern back country in the 1850s. Olmsted provided a length account of a "Cracker" church in Georgia and recounted the sermons of the preacher, who attacked socialism, atheism and who constantly cried aloud to his audience.
