Churches played an important role in early history. Most emigrants moved together from New England, Virginia, and other areas to establish new places to worship. Anti-slavery movements were a big reason many left southern states such as Virginia, the Carolinas, and Kentucky, moving on to Lawrence County, Ohio.
