When slavery was introduced, the free man forgot what it was
like to be enslaved and thus enslaved others. The black man was enslaved and
forced to live in bondage to others. It should be stated that most slave owners
were white, but there were black slave owners as well. These black men also
forgot about the nature of freedom and enslaved their brothers. However, God
has instilled in men that slavery of one to another is not acceptable.
Therefore, the Civil War was declared and an injustice was dealt with. Men were
once again free to live as God had intended from the time of Adam and Eve.
Nevertheless, the lesson could still not be learned and man
continued to try to enslave man for his own profit. People who could not cope
with the idea that God created each of us in his own image tried to remain in
control of his fellow man.
Today is no different. Even though there is no legal slavery
in the United States of America today, men seek to enslave others in other
ways. Not through race but through money and power. Mankind is still trying to
control the outcome of the sovereign world in which we live. As men and women
seek power for their own benefit, people’s lives are ignored.
