Letter to my American History Professor about Christians and Slavery
I am a student in your United states History class and take tremendous exception to your claim that “All the world’s religions have accepted the idea of slavery,” as you said in class today. I take even grater exception to your claims that Christians found no qualms with enslaving non-Christians, and that it was acceptable to enslave Africans because of some notion that the blackness of their skin is equitable to a sinful nature, and that all heathens and non-Christians are fair game to being taken up as slaves. I find these very claims that you spoke in class today offensive and completely unverifiable. Throughout this quarter but particularly in today’s class you have patronized Christians and Christianity and blamed them for many of the ridiculous and horrible things that have occurred in the history of the United states.
