The Abolition of Slavery
The Abolition of Slavery
It is not to the Churches' credit that some Churchmen condemned the adolition of slavery but one swallow does not make a summer and many churchmen did fight for it. Moreover if a system, and a large one of forced labour camps is anything but slavery then what is it? It cannot be defended on the same grounds as our penal system because there is no code of law comparable nor are our prisons closed to inspection.
