Sixteen million Southern Baptists wish this book were never written and as a result it has attracted a tremendous amount of criticism. The Southern Baptist Convention is the only denomination to have been created from the idea that the African, by biblical decree, was forever to be doomed to slavery. This book explores how such an incredible evil could have been perpetrated upon a people by the Southern Baptists and why they felt compelled to argue for the defense of slavery until the last shot was fired in the Civil War. Southern Baptists deeply believed it was a Divine right to buy and sell the African, a fact that has been buried in the annals of the Southern Baptist history. This gross violation of human rights has never been held to account and remains the best kept secret of Southern Baptists. Let all African Americans read this book and decide for themselves who was responsible for the pain and suffering of their ancestors. Let all Southern Baptists read this book and come face to face with their own history.
