Wikipedia's article on the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, community-edited. Reliable for the standard account: the 1844 General Conference dispute over the slaveholding bishop James O. Andrew, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South's organisation at Louisville in 1845, and its 1939 reunion with the northern Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Protestant Church to form the Methodist Church; not the right source for a day-level date on any of the three years, which the article states only by year.
