The Religious Defense of American Slavery Before 1830 ...
The Religious Defense of American Slavery Before 1830. Larry R. Morrison Historians, because of their own moral sensibilities, have consistently under- valued the slaveholding ethic. However, as Donald G. Mathews has recently shown, this viewpoint was just as natural and consistent as was evangelical The foundation upon which the slaveholding ethic and the proslavery argument was built was the scriptural Defense of Slavery . Nearly every proslavery pamphlet, or article, or speaker made at least some reference to a biblical sanction of Slavery . The reason for such a position should be clear. From the very beginning much of the attack upon slaveholding had always been upon moral grounds.
