Documentary of McLeod's 1802 "Negro Slavery Unjustifiable" by RPTS
This video is promoting the digital online release of a booklet by
Rev. Alexander McLeod in 1802 that was instrumental in the
Reformed Presbyterian Church of
North America being the second denomination in the
United States to ban slave owners from membership during a time when the nation held it to be a constitutional right.
McLeod's treatise is based on
Exodus 21:16: "And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death."
McLeod soon after was a founding superintendent of
RPTS in 1810.
RPTS released this video and online digital booklet to celebrate its
2010 bicentennial and in honor of
Black History Month (originally released in
February, 2010).
