Excerpt from Slavery Consistent With Christianity
Canaan, it is said in the 25th verse, shall be a servant of servants to his brethren. This is a singular prediction, but most singularly fulfilled, as I have seen both in the South and West Indies; where, on large cotton, coffee or sugar plantations, the slaves are divided in companies with a leader over them of their own color, who is also a slave, and is responsible to his overseer, or master. And these leaders, in general, are far more severe to their fellow slaves than their masters or overseers are.
And, in some parts of the West Indies, many free negroes are owners of many slaves, who were formerly slaves themselves.
Nor is this all - for, Canaan was to be a servant to his brethren, Shem and Japheth - all of which I have seen fulfilled: as the Creeks, Cherokees and Seminoles have many slaves among them.
These facts satisfy my own mind of the truth of our theory; and they are submitted to your consideration.
It mav be necessary for the information of some of our hearers to make some remarks relative to the first introduction of slaves into this country.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and controversial issue of slavery through a religious lens, primarily focusing on Christianity. The author delves into biblical texts and historical examples to present a nuanced examination of morality, social justice, and individual liberty within the context of slavery. The book acknowledges the existence of slavery in both ancient and contemporary times, seeking to reconcile its presence with Christian principles. It challenges the notion that slavery is inherently incompatible with Christianity, drawing upon scriptural passages that seem to condone or regulate the practice. Through a thorough analysis of Bible verses, the author argues that slavery, while an acknowledged evil, may be permitted under certain circumstances to preserve social order and protect the vulnerable. This perspective challenges the abolitionist movement's absolute condemnation of slavery and suggests a more measured and compassionate approach. Ultimately, the book encourages readers to reflect on the ethical implications of slavery, consider historical context, and seek a balanced understanding that reconciles the desire for social justice with the complexities of human nature.
