“Deuteronomy! God was very detailed on how to treat slaves and their children. I didn't see anything about being chained in barns and stealing daughters to send to the farm stud.”

I don't understand where your reference to barns and chains originated. I do remember that Jimmy-the-Greek was fired for saying less.

In terms of the peculiar institution, conditions then must have been harsh even by today's standards.

Slaves were never chained in barns in the south?

In terms of the peculiar institution, conditions then must have been harsh even by today's standards.

Not the Hilton, but God's rules were much better than the southern plantation owners rules.
