The 1838 Jesuit Slave Sale (Episode 96)
The business of treating people as property has never reflected well on those who practice it; however, when the practice is not just morally repugnant but also violates the religious precepts of your faith... you really have to ask yourself what side of history you want to be on. In 1838, the Jesuit order of Maryland faced just such a dilemma. These are the choices they made.
