“By the standards of THAT day, slavery was morally permissable.{sic]”
Is it your view that morals change from time to time and might be immoral today might be moral in the future?
Absolutely. Morals change with society, wether we agree or not. Most southerners of the day were Christians, yet felt the scripture justified slavery. I don’t think they should change, but the truth is that they do!?
