I think you're confused about what I said. The other poster mentioned the role "Christian values" played in ending slavery. Yes, that's true. It's also only one side of the ledger. "Christian values" played a big role in the development and growth of slavery as well. I'm not the one with the bias. My favorite American of all time - Frederick Douglass - was a millenarian.
