Tribble mines a journal and a trove of letters from the Special Collections and Archives of Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University to introduce a significant figure in North Carolina and Baptist history. The writings of Sally Merriam Wait reveal a northernborn woman with anti-slavery leanings engaging with an unfamiliar environment in the slave-holding South. Her ambition led her from young convert in revival-swept New England to devoted wife of Reverend Samuel Wait, the first president and founder of Wake Forest University. Wait's decisions are shaped by a surging evangelical movement, changes in the American economy, the rise of women's social agency, a fracturing of political traditions, and the moral conflicts inherent in a slave economy. The book provides a rare glimpse into the spiritual and worldly education of a young woman of faith at the dawn of market capitalism in Jacksonian America"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Wait, Sarah Merriam, $d 1794-1871. 600 17 $a Wait, Sarah Merriam, $d 1794-1871. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01514457 650 0 $a Spouses of clergy $z North Carolina $v Biography. 650 0 $a Baptists $z North Carolina $v Biography. 650 0 $a Baptists $x Missions $z North Carolina. 651 0 $a North Carolina $x Church history $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Baptists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00827285 650 7 $a Baptists $x Missions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00827324 650 7 $a Spouses of clergy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130850 651 7 $a North Carolina. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204304 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Church history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411629 776 08 $i Online version: $a Tribble, Mary C. $t Pious ambitions $b First. edition $d Knoxville : The University of Tennessee Press, 2021 $z 9781621906841 $w (DLC) 2021031087 830 0 $a America's Baptists. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=160DF2D6BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
