So the Christian abolitionists eventually won out over the Christian Slave Traders (after 400 years of business) and that is a victory for Christian morality.
Yeah!!!
Way to go Jesus!!
They were both Christians, but the ones who wanted to end slavery simply watered down the same book with their own interpretation. What was really working was our human ability for compassion, not Christianity. The entire bible demands servitude to one character, and it most certainly does not condemn slavery.
