Read the passage
If the lineal descendants of Ham are alone to be scripturally enslaved, it is certain that slavery at the south must soon become unscriptural; for thousands are ushered into the world, annually, who, like myself, owe their existence to white fathers.
Which of the following main ideas is developed and supported by this passage?
A. A slave is no better than an animal
B. Justice for slaves is impossible
C. Hypocrisy in religion is used to justify slavery
D. Keeping slaves makes slaveholders inhuman

Respuesta :

C, because the author speaks about how slavery in the south goes against his religion.

Answer: C. Hypocrisy in religion is used to justify slavery.

Explanation: People who justified slavery based themselves on an interpretation of the Book of Genesis, in which the descendants of Ham (thought to be African people) were cursed by Noah to be enslaved. The hypocrisy is that none of those people were against the slavery of black men who were the offspring of a white man and a black woman.
