[Tell It Right]

There is so much to be said for the Christian abolitionist movement that seemed out of whack at the time when it was "normal" to have a society with slaves, even if only 2% to 5% of white families in the society had slaves.

Perhaps my favorite book from the era is Theodore Weld's "Bible Against Slavery".

Instead of recoiling every time the history of slavery is mentioned, what we ought to do is yell loudly that most of the so-called "enlightened" people were for it in an era when most "evangelical" Protestants were against slavery.

Yes, and that Christian abolitionist movement has been absolutely erased by the historians.

That can be changed. I’ve had enough with these agenda-driven historians.

The tyranny of the minorities continues. Nothing new here.
