Why wouldn't MAGA Christians want to celebrate the deeply Christian roots of abolitionism? Is it because those devout New England ministers' wives were *actual* Christians who believed damnation threatened their souls too and wasn't just a cudgel to use against others? -OS
and these days if you were to lecture on it you'd probably get fired or at least talked to
of course you're correct about MAGA phony religiousness; how Protestant Christian sects were blown up over slavery is a fine subject for study, not so much the stupid 19th c. mindset (altho that matters) but more about how it shows most "religion" is really a flavor of dumb human tricks
Could it be that the earnestness and devoutness of the Christian reformers of the 19th Century would only draw attention to the fact that their modern "Christianity" is in fact a godless, soulless vessel used by hucksters to get money and rape kids? -OS
And they practice idolatry with Trump and guns
