Albert Barnes was an American theologian born in New York in 1798. He was a leader among the New School Presbyterians and a strong supporter of abolition.
Barnes made an exhaustive study of The Bible passages addressing slavery since many passages could only be interpreted as both approving and promoting slavery which was a common form of life for many people in biblical times. It must also be remembered that different parts of The Bible were written at different times by different authors. It is more an anthology of theological writings that span a long period of time. There is no single theme running throughout, it is a conglomeration of writings, some contradictory, which explains the infinite interpretations that exist today.
Barnes concluded, after his exhaustive study of all its passages, that the institution of slavery was in direct conflict with the primary principles we are to take from scripture including:
equality,
the brotherhood of God's family
the "golden rule,
"spiritual growth, and
God's abhorrence of oppression
Albert Barnes thought slavery was a sinful practice and it should cease and transform into employment. As for his own times, he is quoted as stating: "There is no power out of the church that could sustain slavery an hour, if it were not sustained in it." Think about that. Slavery may have been obliterated sooner in American history had it not been promoted from the pulpit. Barnes was an interesting man whose thinking was far ahead of his times.

Slavery is against the laws of nature. (Apex)
Most human beings would say that slavery is wrong. Just because something is found in The Bible does not justify it being done. Consider that rape, incest, and murder are also found in the Bible as are most of the wayward ways of mankind.
Over all yes, there are STILL rumors that he cheated on his wife with 3 different women though.. other than that im sure he was a great guy :D
Southerners have no part in slavery today. During the time period of slavery, obviously before the civil war, slaves WERE exceptionally important though. Slaves were used because they were cheap, hardworking people. If these slaves ever disobeyed their masters, they were severely whipped. Slaves were very popular because they were needed to tend to the master's plantation.
though = could be
me odnt know
Because the other half are right.
Slavery is against the laws of nature.

Slavery has not been abolished though some countries have made it illegal.

he did not like slavery. let it be known though that slavery was not why Lincoln had the war. it was to stop the south fromm seceding. but to answer your question, no, he did not like slavery.
child slavery did happen in West Africa (e.g. Olaudah Equiano was 12ish)Now though all slavery is banned
Slavery did not end in the British Empire until the year 1833. The act to abolish slavery came in 1807, though.
okay,someone founded St.patricks day.i think it was st.patrick though!
No he did not sopport slavery. In fact he was storngly oposed to salvery.
If the question is "Is the slavery a cause for the colonies declaring independence from Britain," then no. They wanted freedom from them. Slavery was a big issue in the Civil War, though.
Yes, even though slavery is illegal, they don't enforce the law very well.yes
