Slavery was a social sin because people used too talk about it so much and it was a sin that white people even black people were racist in the 1800's and 1900's . Slavery still The discovery was first made by a club of Boston infidels; but a portion of the pulpit followed in the wake of these wise sceptics, and became agitators on the subject.

Their consciences were too tender.
