How was Noahs son Ham cursed?
The reason why ham was cursed was because of the fact that Noah was celebrating the fact that he and his family have been set free from the aspect of what it happened with the flood and with that his son Ham noticed his father being naked and made fun of the issue and was cursed because of that; whereas his two brothers were respectful to their father Noah and they went in with a covering backwards and put the covering over their naked father. Answer 2 Ham was not cursed by anyone. Noah cursed Canaan one of Ham's sons (Genesis 9).
Did Noah curse his son Ham or grandson Canaan in Genesis 9 verses 21 thru 25?
In Genesis, Noah cursed Canaan only, and did not curse Ham nor any others of Ham's children. The story of Noah and his Ark is now recognised by scholars as unhistorical. Since the Canaanites were the traditional enemy of the Hebrew people, the legend developed around a curse on their putative ancestor.

They come from Ham, Noah's son. Genesis 10:6 "And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan." the bible says that some come from ham's branch and some say that ham's branch was cursed but this is not true. he had a son named Canaan this is who was cursed, not the tribe (the Canaanites)
How is the Curse of Ham associated with black people?
Genesis 9:20-27 says that Noah's son Ham "saw the nakedness of his father" and God responded "Cursed be Cannan" (Ham's son) and went on to bless Shem (Noah's other son, for protecting his father's nakedness) and state that Cannan's descendants would be servants to Shem's. This story appears to be told as a justification for the much later Israelite invasion and subjugation of the Land of Cannan. Later, when race-based slavery emerged, racists re-interpreted this story to justify race-based slavery by concluding that Africans were descended from Ham and therefore cursed by God to be eternal servitude.
What were some pro-slavery arguments used in the 1800s?

Who created ham?
There is not one person that is given credit for creating ham. Ham comes from pigs and pigs come from God, so technically God can be given credit for creating ham.
Why do Mormans dislike Black race?
Mormons are getting better about this, but historically the Mormon church has maintained that black people are the descendants of Ham, a biblical figure, and that they have been cursed with black skin for the sins of Ham, their ancestor. So they alleged that all black people were cursed, basically.
Who was cursed to have black sin and kinky hair?
The short answer is no one. In Genesis, Ham the son of Noah acted in a disrespectful manner to his father. Noah put a "curse" on Canaan the son of Ham. This passage appears to be there to show the Canaanites as not being in God's favor as opposed to the Israelites.Since many of the children of Ham are described as migrating into North Africa, some have decided to look at Africans as cursed of God. This appears to be a good example of some eisegesis (interpreting into Scripture our own preconceptions). Many Europeans (and Arabs and other groups) mistreated Africans, and so sought to justify their own actions by reinterpreting Scripture.On a sidenote. Mormonism does say that dark-skinned people are that way as a punishment from their god Elohim. Dark-skinned people are supposed to be the human form of spirits that sided with Lucifer in revolt against God. But that is a different religion and certainly not drawn from the Bible.
