Caste And Slavery In The American Church is a book written by an anonymous author who goes by the pseudonym ""Churchman"" and was first published in 1843. The book is a critical examination of the role of the American church in perpetuating the institution of slavery and the caste system that existed in the United States at the time.The author argues that the church, which was supposed to be a moral and spiritual guide for its members, had instead become complicit in the oppression of African Americans. The book provides a detailed history of the church's involvement in slavery, from its early days when many slave owners were also church members, to the present day when the church had become a powerful force in the fight against slavery.The book also explores the ways in which the church had created a caste system that placed white Christians at the top and relegated African Americans to a lower status. The author argues that this system was not only unjust but also contradicted the teachings of Christianity, which emphasized the equality of all human beings in the eyes of God.Overall, Caste And Slavery In The American Church is a powerful indictment of the American church's role in perpetuating slavery and racism. It is a thought-provoking and challenging read that forces readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about the country's past and the role of religion in shaping it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
