In 1776 America's Founding Fathers established a nation based on the principles of freedom -- but that didn't include enslaved African Americans. Through the 1800s, the question of slavery escalated into civil war. John H. Hopkins, a controversial Episcopal Bishop from Vermont, argued in 1863 that the Bible did not forbid slavery -- but he still opposed Southern states seceding from the Union.
