And how did people from Indiana come to be known as Hoosiers?
Here to answer these questions and to tell the story is Dr. Stephen Flick. head of the Christian Heritage Fellowship. Let's take a listen. One such individual that has so deeply influenced our nation.
and one state in particular. is a black man a black Methodist preacher by the name of Harry Hoosier. Uh John Wesley the well known evangelist and father of Methodism, At one of his conferences in the British Isles in 1771, called for his itinerant ministers. to volunteer to go to America. among those who volunteered.
was a young man by the name of Francis Asbury. In a few short years, Francis Asbury would rise to the highest office of bishop in America. having traveled thousands upon thousands of miles, His face was more readily recognized than the father of our nation, George Washington. It was during the American Revolution that Francis Asbury. Ask Harry Hoosier to travel with him Throughout all of the colonies, from New England, the middle colonies and southern colonies.
And it was there. that Harry Hoosier Gained a reputation as the most widely accepted and widely applauded minister of his day. Harry Hoosier had been born in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He had been born into slavery, He was purchased by a Methodist by the name of Henry Goff. And Mr.
Goff Invited his slaves as well as those white inhabitants of his plantation in the Baltimore area. to prayers both morning and evening. It was out of this setting that mister Goff, Freed. Harry Hoosier. as the first anti-slavery movement began just prior.
to the American Revolution and it was the Methodists who, with the Quakers, helped to champion this cause and Harry Hoosier was among those that was the first to be liberated from slavery. Um Uh After being liberated, He became the traveling companion. Of Francis Asbury, and together they traveled thousands of miles. carrying the gospel of Jesus Christ. to both black and white.
It's very significant that Harry Hoosier was more widely acclaimed as a preacher than any other minister, any other preacher, white or black. In fact, It was one of the three most important founding fathers, Dr. Benjamin Rush. who, along with George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, Dr. Benjamin Rush was so impressed with Harry Hoosier's ability as a preacher.

because they had been so deeply and so thoroughly influenced by the preaching of Harry Hoosier. Like so many other terms, that have arisen sometimes out of derision, This term Hoosier was also a term of derision for those who had come to believe in the anti-slavery message and who made their way into Indiana and other parts of the burgeoning nation. Professor William Pearson of Fisk University has said. As memories of the preacher Black Harry slipped away, And as the white people of the frontier adopted the nickname Hoosier for themselves. The term lost its original racial connotations and came to mean simply an illiterate, ignorant.
or uncouth Yahoo. For the thousands who flock to hear Harry Hoosier preach, the name Hoosier. was a memorial to both the man and his message. of freedom from human bondage and freedom from the bondage of sin. People from Indiana should take pride in having the most distinctive state nickname.
