Sexual abuse in Southern Baptist churches

The Southern Baptist churches in the US are in crisis because of many years of sexual abuse.

Why is there a "Southern Baptist" organization of churches? Before the US Civil War, the organization of Baptist churches condemned slavery. So the Baptist churches in the south split off and made their own organization, which was in favor of slavery.

Of course, after the Civil War, they eliminated that stand, but now they have other stands that are almost as nasty. I would wish the Southern Baptists total destruction, except that their members might join the evangelicals in the extreme right wing.
