(Reverend Nehemiah Adams (February 19, 1806 – October 6, 1...)
Reverend Nehemiah Adams (February 19, 1806 – October 6, 1878) was an American clergyman and writer. Biography: He was born in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1806 to Nehemiah Adams and Mehitabel Torrey Adams. He graduated from Harvard University in 1826, and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1829. That same year, he was ordained as co-pastor, with Abiel Holmes, of the First Congregational Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1832, he married Martha Hooper. In 1834, he became pastor of Union Congregational Church in Boston, Massachusetts. He would remain in that position until his death in 1878.In 1850, he married again, to Sarah Brackett. In 1854, he took a trip to the American South, and wrote a book entitled A South-Side View of Slavery (Boston, 1854). In the book, he lauded slavery as beneficial to the Negroes' religious character. This book was one of several polemic works he wrote. It caused a great sensation, and he received much hostile criticism. The book was attacked by abolitionists for its perceived moderation; the abolitionist newspaper The Liberator called it "as vile a work as was ever written, in apology and defence of 'the sum of all villanies'". In 1861, Adams wrote a successor volume, The Sable Cloud, a Southern tale with Northern Comments, to answer his attackers, and it was met with a similar response. He also wrote The Cross in the Cell, Scriptural Argument for Endless Punishment, Broadcast, At Eventide,and a Life of John Eliot. He was a member of the American Tract Society and the American Board for Foreign Missions. In 1869, in consequence of his failing health, his people procured an associate pastor and gave Adams a long leave of absence. He made a voyage round the world and described it in Under the Mizzenmast (1871). Adams died in 1878, aged 72. He left nine children.

Nehemiah Adams was born on February 19, 1806 in Salem, Massachussets, United States, the son of Nehemiah Adams, deacon of the Tabernacle Congregational Church, and Mehitable Torrey Adams.
He was educated at Salem Latin School, Harvard College, and Andover Theological Seminary.
He was given the degree of D. D. by Amherst in 1847.
Adams was ordained and installed as co-pastor with Dr. Abiel Holmes at the Shepard Church (First Congregational) in Cambridge, Massachussets, in 1829, and on the retirement of Dr. Holmes in September 1831 was made sole pastor. He served in this position until March 14, 1834, and was installed pastor of the Essex Street or Union Congregational Church of Boston, March 26, 1834. He remained pastor of the Boston church until his death.
In 1869 he suffered a paralytic shock from which he never fully recovered. Accompanied by his two daughters, he made a trip around the world, 1869-1870, in the ship Golden Fleece, commanded by his son. The experiences of this trip are recorded in his book, A Voyage Around the World (1871), republished in enlarged form as Under the Mizzen Mast (1873).
During the Unitarian controversy Adams figured prominently as an upholder of Evangelical orthodoxy. His works in this connection are Remarks on the Unitarian Belief (1832), A Letter to Rev. Ezra S. Gannett, occasioned by his tract on atonement (1840), Injuries done to Christ (1841), a pamphlet in reply to Prof. Henry Ware for strictures on the same (1841), "Why am I a Trinitarian Congregationalist?" in Pitts Street Chapel Lectures (1858). He produced, in all, sixteen volumes and more than fifty other publications. Among his books are The Life of John Eliot (1847); The Friends of Christ in the New Testament (1853); The Communion Sabbath (1856); Agnes and the Key of her Little Coffin (1857); Bertha and her Baptism (1857). He edited the Autobiography of Rev. Thomas Shepard (1832), and compiled a hymnal, Church Pastorals (1864).
In the winter of 1854 he visited the South and his hospitable treatment led him to write his best-known book, A South-side View of Slavery (1854). This was not a defense of slavery, but it recognized the better side of the institution and deplored the excesses of the Northern abolitionists. Its author believed that if unmolested the South would peacefully abolish slavery. The book subjected Adams to bitter criticism. A resolution of disapproval was offered at a meeting of his church, but it was laid on the table. In 1861 he replied to his critics in another book on slavery, The Sable Cloud, which was largely suppressed by his friends. His last work on this subject was a volume of sermons, At Eventide (1877), whose publication was requested by ten clergymen of Charleston, South Carolina, for the promotion of better feeling between North and South.
