520 _a"Slavery Ordained of God" by F. A. Ross is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. The text presents a series of speeches and letters arguing the theological justification of slavery, claiming it is an institution ordained by God under specific circumstances of human society. The author argues for the benefits of slavery for both the enslaved and the slaveholder, advocating that it should not be viewed as sin and must be recognized within a biblically framed context for the sake of unity and harmony between the North and South. The opening of the work sets the stage for its central theme by presenting Ross's intention to address the contentious issue of slavery from a Christian perspective. In a speech delivered to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, Ross challenges the Northern perspective on slavery as inherently sinful. He encourages a reevaluation of the relationship between master and slave, arguing that, under certain conditions, this relationship could be beneficial and not sinful. He suggests that both Northern and Southern Christians need to come together in understanding the complexities of this relationship, advocating for a theological foundation that offers peace and harmony amidst the divisive debates of the time.
