There are few I believe in this enlightened age who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil It is idle to expatiate on its disadvantages I think it is a greater evil to the white than to the colored race While my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter my sympathies are more deeply engaged for the former the blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa morally physically and socially the painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their further instruction as a race and will prepare them I hope for better things How long their servitude may be necessary is known and ordered by a merciful Providence. . President John Witherspoon of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) wrote widely circulated sermons linking the American Revolution to the teachings of the Bible Throughout the colonies dissenting Protestant ministers (Congregational Baptist and Presbyterian) preached Revolutionary themes in their sermons while most Church of England clergymen preached loyalty to the king the titular head of the English state church.
