Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.
Oh, dear...
Ping!
Yeah, yeah, I know the drill. Bad old America and those awful people they called the founders! For those that care to check a little history, 70% of the black slave trade went to South America, not North America. And let’s see if anybody can come up with the answer here. Who was it that captured these blacks out of their african villages and sold them at the slave markets in North Africa?
Ummm, do I hear an answer there?
America’s Founding Fathers are seen by some people today as unjust and hypocrites, for while they talked of liberty and equality, they at the same time were enslaving hundreds of thousands of Africans. Some allege that the Founders bear most of the blame for the evils of slavery
The people most reponsible for slavery are those that SELL another human being to a person to be a slave. In the case of the African slaves, most were sold by either other Africans or by muslim slave traders. While in no way do I desire to lessen the evil of a person that would own a slave, I do want to see those that profited and sold the slave held up to at lpeast the same standard as the slave “owner”
But it is more beneficial and profitable for many to try and lay all of the blame on white Americans.
Very good article. There’s something sad about the way many ignorant people bash the Founders or the Bible on slavery, when they’ve never done anything more than listen to shallow atheistic mythology on the subject. I hope some will take the time to carefully consider well-written treatises like this.

Biblical law permits voluntary slavery because it recognizes that some people are not able to maintain a position of independence. To attach themselves voluntarily to a capable man and to serve him, protected by law, is thus a legitimate way of life, although a lesser one.
Sounds like working for any company or corporation now days.
As young believers, we heard Rousas Rushdoony at a Bible Conference, here in our city.
I need to look, because I may have taken notes from that time.
There is nothing more asinine than judging 18th and 19th century men by 21st century racial standards.
