Why was the african methodist episcopal church an important part of african-american society quizzlet?

The African Methodist Episcopal Church was the first predominately African American Christian church. It was founded by Reverend Richard Allen in 1787, after he was dissatisfied with the way people of African descent were treated at the St. George Methodist Church. The church was independently owned by blacks and is still around til this day.

He advocated for a separation of powers of the government and the ones enforcing the law.
