Was Slavery Beneficial? A Black Man’s Perspective

Dr. Ben Caron says, “Actually, slavery was the best thing that could have happened to us. Because of slavery, blacks were brought to America, we met the Christian faith. We met Jesus Christ. If it were not for slavery, we would all be in Africa, hanging from trees and worshipping Allah. God always gets it right!”

In this revolutionary book, John Jocelyn answers these questions and more by taking a good, hard, realistic looks at the institution of American slavery and its impacts. Though it was extremely brutal, he argues, slavery brought humanity together and showed the Love of Christ to an entire race.
