Argues that eighteenth-century White Baptists in South Carolina used the Bible to fashion a Christian model of slavery that recognised the humanity of enslaved people while accentuating contrived racial differences. Over time this model evolved from a Christian practice of slavery to one that expounded on slavery as morally right.
