About: In 1843, Wesleyan Methodists broke away from the Methodist Episcopal Church because they did not want to belong to a church that allowed slave owners to be members. As such, Wesleyan Methodists—both African American and European American--became some of the most active abolitionists and underground railroad supporters.
