Southern church leaders
taught slaves to read
advocated in favor of slavery
told congregations to give their slaves a little pay
said that it was okay to teach slaves to only read the bible

The correct answer is B) advocated in favor of slavery.

Southern church leaders advocated in favor of slavery.

In the South, agriculture was the most important economic activity. Plantation owners knew that slaves were necessary to grow crops and increase the production that was traded or exported, so they heavily supported slavery. The south did not have the kind of industry and fabrics that the northern states had. Unfortunately, some southern church leaders also supported it and invited people to own enslaves. This was questionable to many in the northern states because the church supposedly taught love, peace, and understanding.
