Question

"This is the land of freedom.... Many think, because your skins are tinged with a sable hue, that you are an inferior race of beings; but God does not consider you as such. He hath formed and fashioned you in his own glorious image, and hath bestowed upon you reason and strong powers of intellect. He hath made you to have dominion over the beasts of the field, the fowls of the air, and the fish of the sea. He hath crowned you with glory and honor; hath made you but a little lower than the angels; and, according to the Constitution of these United States, he hath made all men free and equal.... It is not the color of the skin that makes the man, but it is the principles formed within the soul." --Maria Stewart, "Religion and the Pure Principles of Morality," 1831 Which abolitionist argument is MOST rooted in religion, according to the excerpt?
