Site #2 on Warsaw Abolitionist Tour
About: The Presbyterian Church, the first organized church to be built in Warsaw, was established in 1808. It consisted of ten members and called itself the "First Congregational Church of Warsaw." By the 1830's many of its members had become deeply involved in the anti-slavery movement. In December 1834 its congregation adopted resolutions viewing slavery as "repugnant to the principles of the Gospel." In November 1839 the Liberty Party, the only political party in American history to have its platform become the law of the land, was initiated in a meeting of abolitionists held at the Presbyterian Church.
