Benjamin Morgan Palmer was an American Presbyterian minister and theologian who led First Presbyterian Church in New Orleans for nearly half a century and served as the first Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States when it formed in 1861. Recognized as one of the most powerful and eloquent preachers of his generation, Palmer’s pulpit ministry drew wide attention throughout the South.

James Henley Thornwell (November 27, 1812 – December 1, 1862) was an American Presbyterian theologian, minister, and professor whose rigorous Reformed teaching at South Carolina College and Columbia Theological Seminary deeply shaped Southern Presbyterian doctrine in the mid-19th century. A prolific writer and church leader, he defended confessional Calvinism and articulated a theological vision that emphasized church unity and doctrinal fidelity.
