Dear Family and Friends, I am writing this letter to share with you the desire I have to serve the Lord with the gifts He has given me. I have been serving the Lord on two different worship teams at The Red Barn for many years; in addition, leading worship for the women’s bible study on Thursday nights for the past few years. I have been on several mission trips with The Red Barns’ Youth group in the past and I am presently growing in Christ through our church’s college and career bible study, as well as a home bible study on Apologetics where I am learning to give reason for the hope that is within me. I share the above things with you not to boast of anything in me, but rather to share that I believe the Lord has been preparing me through these different activities for more responsibility in Him. It is through the Apologetics home bible study that I found out about a mission trip to Port Au Prince, Haiti.

Anti-abolitionists believed that abolition would create poverty, unemployment and many things, such as dry docks and industries that were designed for slavery and slave trade will be wasted. Some individuals have used religion as an excuse, for example a Spanish priest, Raymund Harris, argued that slavery is part of nature, and even it is approved by the Pope. Some anti-abolitionists have argued that by abolishing slave trade and slavery, the freedom and liberty of individuals who are benefiting from slavery will be taken away.
Ciera Johnson Reaction Paper AFA 3104 “Go Sound the Trumpet” Reading the Article Go Sound the Trumpet by Larry Rivers has put into perspective that basically ‘you reap what you sew’. Slave masters had tried to control the slaves every being but could not control their soul. Religion is an outlet to freedom for some. Slaves in this time were using their religious freedom to plan a way out, plan for an escape to a better life.

Former slave Olaudah Equiano presented both a moral and an economic case for abolition, in the latter sounding a great deal like Adam Smith. Religious groups such as the Providence Society presented a fiery moral case based on their interpretation of the scripture. One of the most important questions surrounding the abolition of the slave trade is this one: why did it happen? Was it the intellectual climate of the Enlightenment or the new economic fields that were opening up in India, or in the textile mills of Manchester, providing alternatives to British entrepreneurs and investors? CLR James argues in his book The Black Jacobins that, despite all the soliloquies in Parliament on the "immorality" of the slave trade, only economic necessity that brought about abolition.

This kind of hypocrisy is to a degree that shows how manipulated the slaveholders really were. It is clear that Douglass is making a point that through slavery, identity is lost in more than just
