AP US History
Unit 4 – American Expansion, 1800–1848
Topic 4.13
If Southern religious leaders at the time promoted beliefs opposing slavery instead of supporting it, what effect might this have had on regional attitudes towards this institution?
Slave owners would simply choose not to follow these religious leaders anymore.
This wouldn't matter because economic interests outweighed spiritual ones in decisions about slavery.
Religious opposition wouldn't affect attitudes towards slavery since religion played a minor role in Southern life during this period.
Opposition from religious figures might gradually sway public sentiment against slavery.
