Well written, the truth rings out in her words. We must understand we are literally fighting evil...these people are the same people who were the Communists, the Nazi’s, the slave owners, etc.
One need not say anything good about slaveowning to note that no other religious or ethical system but Christianity ever abolished slavery - and even Christianity coexisted with slavery relatively uncontroversially until, at best, the Sixteenth Century. According to Thomas Sowell, slavery existed everywhere, and throughout history until then. Yet you will search the literature in vain for any apologia for slavery from anywhere except in the American South - because the institution was never under serious attack before then. We take The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the verse of O Holy Night which says, "Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother" for granted, but they are very much of their time and place - they wouldn't have been written centuries earlier.
The point is that the Christians of the American South thought themselves no less Christian because they owned slaves as their Christian parents had done before them. Indeed, Stonewall Jackson got into an argument with a fellow Presbyterian over Jackson's participation in a Sunday School for black slaves. Jackson himself owned one slave - but not by preference. The man had pleaded for Jackson to buy him, knowing that the alternative he faced was much worse . . .I have to believe that you or I would, if transported back 150 years, have been pretty uncomfortable with many of the people whom we now admire from a distance.
