Bible and slavery debate fuels anti abolitionist confrontation
A lengthy 1850s dialogue in The Bugle discusses the Bible's authority on slavery, opposing abolitionist views and defending proslavery interpretation. The exchange, led by Wright and others, argues that the Bible justifies slaveholding, while anti‑slavery advocates challenge the premise and demand open theological scrutiny. The letters reveal tension between church authority, public discourse, and political stances on abolition.
