Book excerpt: Slavery Religion and Regime challenged us to question the basis of a society founded on freedom for the elite and the subjugation and enslavement of natives and imported victims of slavery and slave-trading.

The elite and justice for all while it heralds individualism, materialism, conceived in violence. The dehumanization process along with the killing of natives is a history that extends up to the present day,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American Religion offers a provocative historical and philosophical treatment of the religious life of African Americans. Glaude argues that the phrase, African American religion, is meaningful only insofar as it singles out the distinctive ways religion has been leveraged by African Americans to respond to different racial regimes in the United States. If it does not do this, he argues, then it is time we got rid of the phrase.

Book excerpt: "First reconstructs the culutral matrix of African American religion, a total way of life formed by Protestantism, American culture, and the institution of slavery (1619-1865). Whites from Europe and Blacks from Africa arrived with specific, differing views of God, faith, and humanity. Hopkins recreates their worldviews and shows how white theology sought to remake African Americans into naturally inferior beings divinely ordained into subservience. The counter voice of enslaved blacks is the birth of the Spirit of liberation." -- Back cover.

Download or read book Slavery and the Slaveholder s Religion written by Samuel Brooke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery, and the Slaveholder's Religion: As Opposed to Christianity Upon the question of the right of the master to the slave the people of this land are divided. A small minority assume the ground that the rights of the most humble are as perfect as those ofthe most gifted. That the person held in slavery has an equal right to liberty, with the one who claims him, and that this right was conferred upon both by the Author of our exis tence. In taking this position, they believe they have planted themselves upon the rock ofeternal truth, and therefore un tiringly, and firmly demand the abolition of slavery. They ask of their fellow men to cease to lay violent hands upon the rights of others, humble though these may be. They tell them It is far more mean and inglorious to outrage the rights of the weak, and the helpless, than to impose upon those strong to attempt their own redress. That it is noble and God-like to seek the liberty of the captive, and the liberation of those who are in bonds. On the other hand a large majority of the people op pose this demand, resisting the efibrts of the abolitionists, and denying the truth of their doctrines. I say a large majority, for all who do not refuse to aid the master in crushing him, who fail to advocate the enfranchisement of the slave, stand in opo position to that measure. It being a great moral question, one ofright, of duty, of religion, all who are not for the measure, are against it. Those who are not for justice uphold injustice - there is no neutral ground to stand upon in a question of this character. Christ has said, he that is not for me is against me. The slave is kept in his condition under the authority of constitutional and statutary enactments, and those who admin ister, execute or authorise the execution of these enactments, stand with their feet upon his neck. Slaveholding being a mat ter of agreement between the eople of the different States of this Union, each with all and a l with each, dependent entirely upon this for its continuance, those who stand in that compact, who fulfil that agreement, stand with iron heels upon the bleed ing bosom ofthe prostrate slave.

Download or read book The Alphabet As Resistance written by Jerry Cunningham and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could slavery get worse after centuries of it? It did in the slave South in the decades just before the Civil War. This book explores the expansion of slavery during the period, the growth of the mass-labor cotton and sugar plantations, the expulsion of the Native Americans, and the new types of repression. Those new types of repression included new laws that prohibited the teaching of a slave to read or write - prohibited literacy - under penalty of whippings or worse. Other new types of repression included laws against gatherings - aimed at religious gatherings. Laws requiring slaves to have a pass from the slaveowner or a white person were ancient; they were tightened under the new regime. The laws were enforced by the notorious patrols, made of poorer white men, whose service was always mandatory and often drunken. The book chronicles, often in the voices of the slaves themselves, both the repression against literacy and religion and their resistance to it.
Download or read book The Founding Fathers and the Debate Over Religion in Revolutionary America written by Matthew Harris and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether America was founded as a Christian nation or as a secular republic is one of the most fiercely debated questions in American history. Historians Matthew Harris and Thomas Kidd offer an authoritative examination of the essential documents needed to understand this debate. The texts included in this volume - writings and speeches from both well-known and obscure early American thinkers - show that religion played a prominent yet fractious role in the era of the American Revolution. In their personal beliefs, the Founders ranged from profound skeptics like Thomas Paine to traditional Christians like Patrick Henry. Nevertheless, most of the Founding Fathers rallied around certain crucial religious principles, including the idea that people were "created" equal, the belief that religious freedom required the disestablishment of state-backed denominations, the necessity of virtue in a republic, and the role of Providence in guiding the affairs of nations. Harris and Kidd show that through the struggles of war and the framing of the Constitution, Americans sought to reconcile their dedication to religious vitality with their commitment to religious freedom.
Download or read book Christian Slavery written by Katharine Gerbner and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could slaves become Christian? If so, did their conversion lead to freedom? If not, then how could perpetual enslavement be justified? In Christian Slavery, Katharine Gerbner contends that religion was fundamental to the development of both slavery and race in the Protestant Atlantic world. Slave owners in the Caribbean and elsewhere established governments and legal codes based on an ideology of "Protestant Supremacy," which excluded the majority of enslaved men and women from Christian communities. For slaveholders, Christianity was a sign of freedom, and most believed that slaves should not be eligible for conversion. When Protestant missionaries arrived in the plantation colonies intending to convert enslaved Africans to Christianity in the 1670s, they were appalled that most slave owners rejected the prospect of slave conversion. Slaveholders regularly attacked missionaries, both verbally and physically, and blamed the evangelizing newcomers for slave rebellions. In response, Quaker, Anglican, and Moravian missionaries articulated a vision of "Christian Slavery," arguing that Christianity would make slaves hardworking and loyal. Over time, missionaries increasingly used the language of race to support their arguments for slave conversion. Enslaved Christians, meanwhile, developed an alternate vision of Protestantism that linked religious conversion to literacy and freedom. Christian Slavery shows how the contentions between slave owners, enslaved people, and missionaries transformed the practice of Protestantism and the language of race in the early modern Atlantic world.
