According to albert barnes, what mistake did american church leaders make in relation to slavery?

Answer 1

Failing to speak out against it (APEX)

Answer 2

According to Albert Barnes, their mistake was that they didn't speak against slavery. Although many of them believed that slavery was against god and against the idea that god made everyone equal, they didn't do much against it out of many reasons, either they thought it was a necessary evil or they were afraid of the public reaction.
