It’s also crazy how people used the Bible back then to defend slavery

well the cotton gin came way later as well as cotton, cotton was actually only a cash crop for the period immediately before the civil war

Canaan was cursed to be servants of servants so

before cotton most slaves worked on plantations that grew tobacco and pot lmao

cotton gin was 1793

and sugar

those sugar burns ppl would get ughhh man

no joke

sugar was around for the gulf coast, but that was moreso a carribbean thing, and where the carribbean blacks in like haiti and jamaica and such went

We can agree that slavery is bad ?!

for virginia especialyl they have the world's best tobacco, still do in fact

Can we

slavery is not necessarily bad, forms of it are bad some forms of it are good

bruh

slavery still exists

ik

it’s terrible

debt is the oldest form of slavery

but that can also be technically beneficial

enslaving a human is bad even if they make trillions of dollars

gazillions

idc

it’s bad

if done right and wisely it can be a good thing for both the master and servant

if done evilly it can be evil for both the master and servant

I think it’s evil to begin with

We were born to be free

slavery is jsut the Master - Servant relationship

in and of itself it's not bad

Would god want slaves

God is the ultimate good Master

We are his children not his slaves

his yoke is light and is not a burden it is written

Would god want us to have slaves

your not his child if your not in Messiah

No I don’t think so

did you never hear the story of the prodigal son?

Yeah

how after he wasted all his inheritance upon whores that he realized to himself wisely that even the slaves of his father's house have a better life than he does

What’s in messiah
