abolitionist politician reformer
Beriah Green was born on March 24, 1795, at Preston, Connecticut. He was the eldest of six children of Beriah and Elizabeth (Smith) Green, who removed to Pawlet, Vermont, about 1810.
Green graduated from Middlebury College with the class of 1819, receiving valedictory honors, and went to Andover Seminary to prepare himself for the missionary service of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.
To eke out his slender resources, Green undertook to teach at Phillips (Andover) Academy. Within the year, however, his eyes and health began to fail, and he left the seminary. His health gradually returning.
For a short time, afterward, he was in the service of the American Board on Long Island and at Lyme, Connecticut. Ordained on April 16, 1823, he became pastor of the Congregational church at Brandon, Vermont.
In 1829, he accepted a call to the distinctly “orthodox” church of Kennebunk, Maine, but the next year left to take the chair of sacred literature in the theological department of Western Reserve College.
In Cleveland, Green’s hostility to American slavery, first specifically awakened in 1822 and growing with his belief that the Christian doctrines should be more practically applied to everyday life, came to a crisis, and on four consecutive Sundays, he preached in the college chapel sermons in which he “haled American slavery to the bar of the Christian religion. ”
These powerful sermons attracted wide attention, and in December 1833, he was made the president of the convention in Philadelphia at which the American Anti-Slavery Society was formed. The same year, he accepted the presidency of the Oneida Institute at Whitesboro, New York.
Here he attempted to maintain a school of high character where manual should be combined with mental labor, where Hebrew and the Greek scriptures should be substituted for the regular Greek and Latin classics, and where students of every color and nationality should mingle as equals.
This position he held until 1843, shortly before inadequacy of support forced the Institute to close. His interpretation of Calvinism proved to be so radically different from that of surrounding clergy that one after another of the orthodox pulpits were closed to him.
For a time, also his prominence as an Abolitionist told on his position and popularity. In 1837, the Presbyterian church in Whitesboro divided on the question of slavery, and the Abolitionist faction established a Congregational church, of which Green was a pastor from 1843 to 1867.
For the last twenty- five years of his life, he lived in virtual retirement.
He died suddenly in his eightieth year while speaking against the local liquor traffic in the Town Hall at Whitesboro.

Intellectually Green was a man of considerable originality. He had strong convictions, but an intensely practical character which probably was responsible in no small measure for the modification of his early theological views.
His activities as an Abolitionist attest his moral courage.
Green married, January 21, 1821, Marcia Deming of Middlebury, Vermont. On March 31, 1826, his wife died, leaving two children.
On August 30 of that year, he married again, his second wife being Daraxa Foote, also of Middlebury, who with her seven children survived him.
