Plantation owners were actively pro-slavery, since it was the mainstay of the cotton industry, and the South had virtually no other industry.
As the debate hotted-up in the 1850's, they began to put pressure on church ministers to preach that slavery was a perfect God-given arrangement of master and man. (The other side was, of course, preaching the extreme ungodliness of slavery.)
