Morgan Barnes · Answer 2

False. Religion was central to justifying the institution of slavery. Many proslavery advocated looked to the Bible to justify the institution. While proslavery advocates used religion to justify slavery, opponents of the institution used the Bible to oppose it. For instance, the black preacher Nat Turner used religion to justify leading a slave revolt to destroy the institution of slavery.

Explanation: Religion was a powerful and authoritative force in 19th century life.
