“The Reverend Douglas Wilson may not be a professional historian, as his detractors say, but he has a strong grasp of the essentials of the history of slavery and its relation to Christian doctrine. Indeed, sad to say, his grasp is a great deal stronger than that of most professors of American history, whose distortions and trivializations disgrace our college classrooms. And the Reverend Mr. Wilson is a fighter, especially effective in defense of Christianity against those who try to turn Jesus' way of salvation into pseudo-moralistic drivel.” WayTryingMayChristianTurnsJesusStrongDealsChristianityCollegeEssentialsRelationStrongerSlaverySalvationDefenseDoctrineFighterProfessorsHistorianClassroomAmerican HistoryDisgraceDistortionWilsonPseudoReverendsChristian DoctrineDrivel Author:Eugene Genovese

“... if you're poor and ignorant, with a child, you're a slave. Meaning that you're never going to get out of it. These women are in bondage to a kind of slavery that the 13th Amendment just didn't deal with. The old master provided food, clothing and health care to the slaves because he wanted them to get up and go to work in the morning. And so on welfare: you get food, clothing and shelter--you get survival, but you can't really do anything else. You can't control your life.” IfsKindChildrenCareWantedPoorDealsMorningMastersSurvivalSlaverySlaveIgnorantGet UpHealth CareWelfareClothingsAmendmentsShelterBondage Author:Joycelyn Elders
