"Southern Slavery, As It Was"

[deutsey]

From a booklet written by Pastors Douglas Wilson and Steve Wilkins. The booklet was required reading for 9th graders at Cary Christian School in Cary, NC until 2004. It was withdrawn over charges that much of it was plaigiarized. Nothing else, apparenlty. :puke:

It's available on Amazon.com, though: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/188576717X/102-0323774-7185755?v=glance :puke: :puke: For just $100.


”Sodomites parade in the streets, claiming that if we do not appropriate more money to study why people with foul sexual habits get sick, we are somehow violating their civil rights. Feminists, in rebellion against God, invert the order of the home established by God. They do so in a way that seeks to rob women of their beauty in submission and their security in being loved. How did we get here, and what is the way out? The question cannot be answered fully without careful study of the War Between the States and the controversies surrounding it. Slavery was one of those controversies.

May a Christian own slaves, even when this makes him part of a larger pagan system that is not fully scriptural, or perhaps not scriptural at all? Provided that he owns them in conformity to Christ’s laws for such situations, the Bible is clear that Christians may own slaves.

Slavery as it existed in the South was a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence. There has never been a multiracial society that has existed with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the world. The gospel enabled men who were distinct in nearly every way to live and work together, to be friends and often intimates. This happened to such an extent that moderns indoctrinated by ‘civil rights’ propaganda would be thunderstruck to know the half of it."

"The issue of slavery was used to provoke a revolution in 1861. That revolution has continued to this day, and slavery has increased in our land as a result. It is time for us to stand up and declare truth about slavery and to expose the failures of the abolitionist worldview."

4. A larger excerpt is in the June Harper's

if you can stomach it.

It astounds me that this was being taught in a school until last year and that the only reason they withdrew it was for plagiarism.

5. Have Seen It There, Sir

It reminds of nothing so much as Mr. Fitzhugh's "Cannibals All, or Slaves Without Masters", printed in the 1850's. There was a tremendous stream of apologist literature of this sort written at the South before the Civil War, to oppose Abolition sentiments. It is truely astonishing to see the same arguements, even the same style of presentation, being resurrected and bruited about on even a small scale today.

2. "There has never been a multiracial society that has existed...."

with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the world."

I dunno maybe the Hebrews in Egypt building Pharohs great cities. Or even allied POWS in Japan.
