The Motives behind Reparations examines key issues in the repaying or monetary gifts given to the descendants of slaves in Ameria.

Liberals and Democrats were for slavery. Slavery is an abuse of another human being in order for their “master” to get something from the slave, usually free work or cheaper labor (even slaves had to eat something). The principle behind slavery is to ignore morality, ignore what God wants, and to abuse another person inappropriately. Get something without going through what is proper in God’s eyes. But at some point, being in favor of slavery turned from being an advantage to a disadvantage for the Democrats, probably after all Democrats voted against freeing slaves and again when they got the vote under Abraham Lincoln. History is clear that the Democrats supported slavery and defended it. They were united against freeing slaves. The Klu Klux Klan was and is a distinct Democrat invention.

We get our morality from the Bible, and the Bible does not forbid slavery. The reason is not that God is in favor of that, but God has a bigger picture than we do. All men are slaves to what they worship. Rich white men in the South worshiped money, and they saw slavery as a way to riches. Rich people in the northern states at the time looked to manufacturing to do the same thing. Neither are morality free of guilt.
