"Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee: He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him."
Doesn't sound at all like the practice in the land of the bloodhound. Like many, the Southern slave apologists were adept at examining only those portions of the Bible that they thought supported their selfish agenda.
Please see my post 13. I did not raise the question to debate slavery, rather people's changing views of morality. Remember, both of the two amendments were offered within a few short years.
