This article written for the “Journal of American Studies,” presents an example
of the missionary movement with the establishment of a school in Cornwall
and its closure nine years later in 1826. During those years the policy toward the
non-Christian — Hawaiians, Cherokees, Chinese, and others — changed from
educating them among Americans to sending missionaries to the native
territories. Racial discrimination and mixed marriages were a local scandal and
exemplified the larger issues of slavery and the Indian policy.
