the first colonists settled down, their plantations required a lot of labor. So there is a policy: after a new immigrant has worked in the plantation for several years (equivalent to a servant), he can get a piece of land and own his own plantation. The premise is: must be a Christian. At that time, blacks and whites could own their own farms and were free men.
Later, this policy was changed to take skin color as the standard: blacks were slaves forever, and their children were also the property of their masters.
This characteristic historical moment illustrates the truth of world history.
One is a "backward and ignorant" religion. The standard to measure people is your spiritual attributes.
One is "the first modern democratic country." The measure of people is the color of your skin.
It's not that religion is perfect, you can say that it is religious discrimination and religious oppression. Besides, the later Christianity was not the original Christianity of Jesus. But at least it is better than the latter.
