Abolitionism: Difference between revisions

There is debate regarding Christianity and slavery, as religious skeptics claim that Judeo-Christianity was used to justify slavery especially in the Middle Ages. While in fact various regimes used Christianity as a justification for slavery, it was the first religion to morally challenge the institution, and many abolitionists also had a biblicalBiblical basis, even if some opposed the clergy. Some examples in the history of Christianity that oppose slavery could be:

'''Right-Wing Abolitionism''' is a variant of liberal or conservative ideals, believing that capitalism and the free market would be an essential basis for the abolition of slavery. Liberals believe that state interventionism in the economy and socialism would eventually breed slavery, with modern liberals using the Soviet Union and other communist countries as an example. Conservatives also have similar beliefs mentioned before, but combined with anti-revolutionism, tradition, nationalism and respect for religion (especially [[File:Christy.png]] [[ChirstianChristian Theocracy|Christianity]]). Some notable theorists are: Adam Smith, James Garfield, Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Johnson and the popes mentioned above, as well as the Libertarian Party's 2006 LPRadicals caucus.
