The Church and Slavery in the Confederacy Dr William Peters

Slavery is perhaps the biggest bugbear that Yankee liberals and their ilk throw at Southerners to blacken the Confederacy as well as Southerners in general. Is there a justification for slavery as it existed in the South that explains why this strong loyalty existed? The Church in the South provided an oversight to make sure that slavery in the South was a Christian slavery, and not the barbaric muslim type practiced to this day. Indeed, Bp. Verot gives Catholic canon law regulating slavery within clergy, and Catholic society. Other ministers expound also upon the Bible based slavery that the South practiced. It is time for Southerners and others to realize the truth of Lincoln's War, and the Clergy are certainly truth-speakers concerning slavery and life in the Confederate States Of America.
