SLAVERY DONE BY WHITE CHRISTIANS DEHUMANIZED BLACKS

Jason,
The Civil War was done to unify the union and the end of slavery motto was just feel good propaganda. Those in power at that time knew slavery could not last forever, so they supported plans to have all blacks relocated back to Africa. They allowed some Christian organizations to take the lead in doing this. No matter what efforts were made to end slavery. The fact is that white Christians dehumanized an entire race of people using the Bible as their rationale for doing it. There is no way to recover from that. First blacks were physically enslaved using the Bible and now they are mentally enslaved using the same Bible. Blacks are actually in a worst moral state now than they were during slavery.
