So if you were a Christian during the slavery error, you would not have seen the bible as being against slavery?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
