Line 75: − Since the Bible seems to support slavery under certain circumstances and with restrictions, biblical literalists could argue that the pre Civil War southern states were not morally wrong, but simply pursuing an alternative economic system.

The Old Testament alone, prior to New Testament considerations, broadly prohibits the permanent enslavement of the native inhabitants of Israel but permits the enslavement of immigrants and the occupants of other countries. Depending on the precise circumstances, ethnicity, nationality and any enslaved relatives of a slave, some must be freed after a specified time, while others remain slaves for life. Though physical violence to slaves is permitted, murder is not.
