Slave: A person who is held in bondage to another; one who is wholly subject to the will of another; one who is held as a chattel; one who has no freedom of action, but whose person and services are wholly under the control of another. ⁽¹⁾

Slavery then, is defined as the state of one bound in servitude as the property of an individual or household; the practice of owning slaves; a mode of production in which slaves constitute the principal work force.

At the mention of this word, are you taken aback, visibly shaken or find yourself conjuring up images of downtrodden black folk being mercilessly beaten by a cruel Southern taskmaster?  At the same time, do you, driven by today’s modern Abolitionist mindset and feeling the need to be driven out of earshot from this “profanity”, throw up your hands in defense crying, “No, no! Don’t associate me with this evil”?

If you feel that you are in this camp, then you should know that there is definitely another side to this story. Southern culture, from which this politically correct attitude is drawn, is distinct from, and in opposition to, the corrupt mainstream secular culture. Southern culture still reveres the tenets of our historic Christian faith and acknowledges its supremacy over man made laws and opinions; that all rights are endowed by God; that our Christian faith provides the surest means of securing the welfare of all mankind; and that our primary allegiance is to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Church;

The Southern society is radically different from the society impressed upon it by an alien occupier in that it upholds the spiritual equality of all men before God, and the bar of justice, while recognising and rejoicing in the fact that it has neither been the will of God Almighty, nor within the power of human legislation to make any two men mechanically equal.

Southern society is structured upon the Biblical notion of hierarchy. In short, it recognizes the natural societal order of superiors and subordinates, where Christian charity, (as found in the second Table of the Law), toward our neighbors, produces harmony and stability. Christ is the head of His Church; husbands are the heads of their families; parents are placed over their children; employers rank above their employees; the teacher is superior to his students, etc.

At the same time, Southern society recognises the Biblical institution of slavery as practised by our Fathers was established by decree of Almighty God and is sanctioned through His Holy Word, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation. There are no verses in God’s Holy Word prohibiting slavery, but many regulating its practise. The institution of slavery has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilisation, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts; that the Biblical form as practiced by our Christian Fathers in both Europe and the New World bore little resemblance to the heathen forms of slavery practised by the pagans of non-Christian lands.

The Southern people, understand that the existence of this Biblical institution, the same having passed into history and now being deceased notwithstanding, did confer on our Fathers the right to possess those persons held to servitude; that they did so possess and did, under the protection and regulation of the governments of man and of Almighty God, provide such persons with livelihood, sustenance, physical and spiritual comfort within a symbiotic relationship.

Therefore, in keeping with the commitment of all Patriotic Southerners to the sovereignty of our Creator and His Word, those who truly follow the word of God should not now nor at any time make an apology for the institution of Biblical slavery and should hold our Southern Fathers without guilt in their Christian practise thereof.
