Its perfectly obvious that slavery was financially prosperous right up to the time is was outlawed .... both here in the States and elsewhere. If Adam Smith every argued in 1776 (and I'm not sure he did), that slavery had become financially unprofitable by then, it would have died naturally long before the US Civil War and the abolition decades later by European colonial states. Remember that almost all of the slave owners in the south were Christian Evangelicals. Which doesn't mean much since pretty much everyone in the south was too. Even the slaves. "Its your surmise that he did so." I base my surmise on the evidence. What evidence do you have that Jesus explicitly supported slavery? He wasn't a social revolutionary. He didn't campaign against monarchy either, but does that make him a monarchist?
