 | | However, according to some writers, the British, in abolishing slavery, were primarily motivated by economic, not humanitarian, interests. | | | The reparations movement was spurred in part by payments to Holocaust victims, to Japanese Americans interned during World War II, and to some Native American tribes. | | | The Security Council in 1954 condemned systems of forced labor, particularly those employed as a means of political coercion. |

| | SLAVERY by William Ellery Channing |
| | Slavery is also hostile to the love of order, which, in union with the love of liberty, is the great support of free institutions. | | | Slavery violates, not one, but all; and violates them, not incidentally, but necessarily, systematically, from its very nature. | | | Suppose a conqueror to menace a state with 40 SLAVERY. |

| | The African American : A Journey from Slavery to Freedom |
| | Slavery therefore became the ultimate test of disunity within the union of states which were already at odds in a democracy espousing freedom for its people. | | | Slavery had weakened America's position as a country established on principles of freedom. | | | This period in American history left behind some of the most unbearable scars on the African-Americans as a people, but the free thinking decent people and countless allies envisioned a broader, more humane society - for they showed some of us the best of what America should be. |

| | Slavery and Slave Redemption in the Sudan (Human Rights Watch Backgroudner, March, 2002) |
| | Investigations by journalists with the Washington Post and the Irish Times have now confirmed these reports with eyewitness testimony confirming that some transactions for the freeing of slaves were effected not through Arab middlemen but through SPLA soldiers posing as Arab middlemen. | | | Thus the government of Sudan is responsible not only of knowingly arming, transporting and assisting the slave-raiding militia, it also is responsible for not enforcing its own laws against kidnapping, assault, and forced labor. | | | Human Rights Watch urges those concerned, including agencies that have until now not had a role in the process, to address the humanitarian needs of those who were enslaved and then escaped or were freed. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ethical Aspect of Slavery |
| | Christianity found slavery in possession throughout the Roman world; and when Christianity obtained power it could not and did not attempt summarily to abolish the institution. | | | From the beginning the Christian moralist did not condemn slavery as in se, or essentially, against the natural law or natural justice. | | | The fact that slavery, tempered with many humane restrictions, was permitted under the Mosaic law would have sufficed to prevent the institution form being condemned by Christian teachers as absolutely immoral. |
