New Christians of the "Great Awakening" ABOLISHED Human Slavery

What if everything you thought you knew about slavery's abolition was incomplete? 

Ken Mercer challenges conventional historical narratives in this thought-provoking episode introducing his book "Slavery 101: The True, Untold History of How New Christians of the "Great Awakening " ABOLISHED Human Slavery."

Mercer transports listeners to 1776, establishing crucial historical context often missing from modern discussions. By then, 

• Human Slavery had existed for over 8,000 years, 
• No nation had yet abolished Slavery, and 
• complex networks facilitated the slave trade, including the uncomfortable truth that 95% of enslaved Africans were originally captured and sold by other African tribes. 

The Arab Muslim Slave Trade had operated for a millennium BEFORE America's 1776 founding - facts rarely emphasized in contemporary education.

Against this backdrop, Mercer highlights how Christian converts during the "Great Awakening" made an extraordinary moral stand. 

Despite slavery's ancient roots and universal acceptance, these believers declared it sinful and launched a revolutionary movement that would transform global attitudes toward human bondage. 

The book promises to reveal the progression of abolition by Christians of the "Great Awakening" through:

• America's founding documents, 
• the Emancipation Proclamation, and 
• three Constitutional Amendments, 

While also exposing how several nations continued practicing slavery nearly a century after America's Civil War - even as United Nations members.

(00:21):
They started a movement inAmerica, throughout the whole
world, to abolish human slavery.
Let's imagine today we'reliving in the year 1776, and
there are at least three thingswe knew about slavery.
Number one slavery was alreadyover 80,000 years old.
Second, not one nation in theworld had abolished human

(00:45):
slavery.
And the third thing we knew in1776, a minimum of 95% of the
slaves from Africa werekidnapped, sold into slavery by
fellow African tribes.
Why are we never told that?
Specifically the Arab Muslimslave trade which began in 750

(01:06):
AD, 1,000 years before the birthof America in 1776, 700 years
before Columbus came here in1492.
But these new Christians in theGreat Awakening said we don't
care that it's 8,000 years old,we don't care that the whole
world is doing slavery.

(01:27):
God has told us that humanslavery is a sin and we must
stand up and confront that sin.
Our book will share with you thefirst states and the first
countries to abolish slavery.
What happened?
What actually happened in ourDeclaration of Independence,
what actually is in ourConstitution, what the

(01:47):
Three-Fifths Compromise reallymeant?
And with the people of theGreat Awakening, suddenly there
was an Emancipation Proclamation, there was a 13th, 14th and
15th Amendment to ourConstitution and finally you
learn about the last fournations in the world to finally
abolish human slavery.
And sadly, these four countries, they didn't do it until almost

(02:09):
100 years after the AmericanCivil War.
They were already members ofthe United Nations and they had
still failed, failed to abolishhuman slavery.
