Problem: Describe the debate over whether "Slavery was Christian." First describe in detail the arguments of Judge Samuel Sewall. How does he use the bible to argue against the institution of slavery? Cite an example. How does he describe Africans? What fears does he express regarding freeing slaves? Second, describe Judge John Saffin's counter argument on the biblical sanction of slavery. How does he attempt to refute each of Judge Sewall's conclusions? What is your overall impression of the document? How does it complicate our understanding of freedom and slavery in the English speaking colonies?
