The American Churches: The Bulwarks Of American Slavery

""The American Churches: The Bulwarks Of American Slavery"" is a book written by James G. Birney that delves into the role of churches in promoting and sustaining slavery in America. The book presents a critical analysis of the religious institutions that supported slavery, arguing that they were instrumental in maintaining the system of oppression and exploitation that characterized American society in the 19th century. Birney examines the theological and moral justifications that were used to defend slavery by various denominations, including Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians. He also discusses the role of individual pastors and church leaders in promoting the institution of slavery, as well as the efforts of abolitionist Christians to challenge and overturn it. Ultimately, ""The American Churches: The Bulwarks Of American Slavery"" is a powerful indictment of the complicity of religious institutions in perpetuating one of the most shameful episodes in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
