Something else very important that is erroneously left out of our history books is the fact that the movement in opposition to slavery came about primarily because of the Christian faith. It was the Christians who first applied their belief -- that man's innate freedoms COME FROM GOD -- to the issue of slavery. It was the Christians who led the American movement condemning slavery.

Thus, it is also likely that, because of Christianity, America came into existence in the first place, as it was England's suppression of yet another freedom from God [religion] that became the primary reason why so many ships departed from England to settle in the Land of the Free! So much of our history and even THE FORM of our government came from Christian convictions and truths. Which is why I will never understand why non-Christians still insist on stripping Christianity from our history and our government?

Even the "separation of Church and State" part of our Constitution was written TO PROTECT THE CHURCH FROM the government....NOT the other way around! The real truths about our glorious nation are tragically being lost in "PC" translation by that dastardly ACLU!
