Answer:

    Early Christian authors maintained the spiritual equality of slaves and free persons, while accepting slavery as an institution. Early modern papal decrees allowed enslavement of the unbelievers, though popes denounced slavery from the 15th century onward. In the eighteenth century the abolition movement took shape among Christians across the globe, but various denominations did not prohibit slavery among their members into the 19th century. Enslaved non-believers were sometimes converted to Christianity, but elements of their traditional beliefs merged with their Christian beliefs (McKivigan & Snay 1998).

           In sum, Taper illustrated that education is associated with freedom. Without education, it will be difficult to achieve freedom. However, insistence on formal education will place limitation available to individuals. The freedom will give individuals to acquire different skills to liberate from scourge of poverty. Various authors argued that slavery was not part of natural law, but nonetheless he defended it as a consequence of human sinfulness and necessary for the good of society. Some viewed the natural state of humanity as that which had existed prior to the fall of man, in which slavery was non-existent; on those grounds, many commentators see other authors as rejecting Aristotle's claim that some people were naturally slaves, although it is a matter of controversy as to whether to fully reject Aristotle's views on the matter.

           Slaves did not accept their fate rules without protest. Many instances of rebellion were known to Americans, even in colonial times. These rebellions were not confined to the South. According to Barrows, slave codes had ruinous effects on African American society. It was illegal to teach a slave to read or write. Religious motives sometimes prevailed, however, as many devout white Christians educated slaves to enable the reading of the Bible. These same Christians did not recognize marriage between slaves in their laws. This made it easier to justify the breakup of families by selling one if its members to another owner.
