What percent of Southern plantation owners, who owned Black slaves, were Christian?

Answer 1

100%..as far as my research...

Answer 2

Can you honestly conclude they were "TRUE" Christians? True Christians don't harbor slaves and beat and enslave another human being.

Your question is mute, you know? Think about it...many call themselves Christians but look at their conduct...did slave owners behave like God-fearing men and women to you? In fact they behaved and still do (and pass down to their filthy generations the same bigoted and sickening, psycho beliefs they had when they owned slaves) harbor the same hatemongering beliefs.

Your questions should contain the missing word: "False" Christians.

Does a true Christian enslave other human beings? Since when did you hear of Jehovah God or his Son, Jesus Christ enslaving human beings?

Too many dumbbells in society you know? Gees, please get your facts str8 before you post to a public forum for all to see what they may deem, ignorant for you to even ask such a question. Christians simply do not enslave other human beings.

Acts 10: 34 - 35:

...."God is not partial, for any man who WORKS righteousness from any nation is acceptable to him". If he is not partial, why should his creation be. Armageddon will be a nice time for all the good people and those slave morons and their offspring will be removed permanently from existence. That will be an awesome time.

Answer 3

I'm not Christian, but I wouldn't just blame the Christian's. Most religions had some way to justify slavery back then.
The Mormon church didn't allow Black's in their priesthood until the 1970's. That was only because the federal government was going to withhold their church funding. Once the church saw how much money they were going to lose they had a "vision" to let Black's into the priesthood.
It seems like religion teaches people to be prejudice then prevent it.

Answer 4

They did sharecropping. Sharecropping replaced right into a variety of criminal slavery that southerners carried out after the Civil war. wealthy southerners might lease their farm land to unfavorable whites and blacks. The unfavorable might artwork the land, yet because of the fact it wasnt theirs they had to furnish a great volume of the salary to the land proprietor. Sharecroppers werent allowed to depart until eventually their debt replaced into paid off which infrequently ever occurred. on account that sharecroppers ought to in no way pay off their debt they have been caught spending their lifetime farming for somebody else.

Answer 5

I would say 100% - on paper at least.

Social convention of the time dictated that "christianity" was mandatory for social acceptance.

Didn't matter that they destroyed families, raped female slaves, sold children. No, that's all good christian behaviour, isn't it?

Answer 6

Most were. But they were not nearly as fanatical about their religion as the northern abolitionists and other northern folk. Actually they were much closer to today's secular progressives. They attended church because everyone did back then, but they also engaged in much more drinking and sex for fun (which was otherwise unheard of) than northern Christians

Southerners were truly the secular ones of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Answer 7

All of them. They thought owning slaves and killing people were Christian like...

Answer 8

None of them were, although they considered themselves Christians.

Answer 9

No doubt 100% .

Answer 10

Looking at your other questions I would say you have a bee in your bonnet.

If you have something to say spit it out dear boy!.

Answer 11

We will be held accountable for ever idle word we say!
