"moral equivalent of enslavement"

Poor southern slave owners. I'll bekieve in a true moral equivalence when the moral equivalent of slavery involves the right of the moral equivalent of the slaveowner to buy and sell his human property so as to break up the God-established institution of marriage as stated in Matthew 19:

"...he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female... for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh"

Thus I do not believe the "moral equivalent of slavery" was really the moral equivalent of slavery. The Confederates never caught on to the fact that there is more in the Bible than "curse of Canaan" and "servants obey your masters".

Curse of Canaan? There was a curse of Cain and some, like Mormons, have referred to the offspring of Ham (blacks) as being cursed for the sin of their father in having looked upon and mocked a naked, drunken, and passed-out Noah.

All Blood thirsty Yankees;

If we get our "S" together down her and actually do it again, what will be your excuse this time to come and burn my house down? No slavery this time to hide behind now.

WHAT?
