The critics said slavery was immoral, and noted that civilised countries had abolished it.
The supporters said it was an essential part of America's biggest export industry (cotton), and that negroes were naturally inferior anyway.
As the tensions were rising through the 1850's, the church ministers from both sides were told to preach the relevant gospel. The North said that slave-owners were guilty of mortal sin. The South said that slavery was a perfect God-given arrangement of man and master.
