Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. Many churches, particularly in the North, saw slavery as a moral evil and took action against members who owned slaves or mistreated them. Some denominations even split over the issue of slavery. However, it is worth noting that many churches in the South did not take such strong stances against slavery and continued to support slaveholders.
