520    Writing primarily for a British audience, American 
       abolitionist James Birney argues in this 1842 essay that 
       Protestant churches in the American South are complicit in
       sustaining slavery. First, they avoid condemning the 
       institution as a whole, and they also allow individual 
       church members to mistreat their slaves without censure. 
       Birney was the son of a wealthy Kentucky slaveowner and at
       one time owned a large cotton plantation in Alabama. Over 
       the years his views on slavery evolved toward gradual 
       emancipationism and then total abolitionism. Birney 
       published a Cincinnati anti-slavery newspaper, The 
       Philanthropist, and ran twice for U.S. president as a 
       candidate for the Liberty Party, an early forerunner of 
       the Republican Party.
