Religion And Slavery
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper rationalizing the existence of slavery through religion. In Antebellum times here in America, slavery was justified through religion in many ways. Even African American spokesmen often claimed that God sent slavery to the African American in order to teach them about suffering and truth. The white man used religion as an excuse mainly in the context that the African American was no more than an animal and as such was entrusted to them so that the they might teach the African American about religion and the path of righteousness. This is not to say that this reality was righteous, for it was not, but it was the excuse many used for the mistreatment and the enslavement of the African American. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
