The correct answer is A. Supported of slavery insisted It was moral because it was practiced in biblical times, while abolitionists argued that it was immoral because God created all people in His Image.
Explanation:
Slavery was a common practice during the 1800s in the Southern states that depended on it due to its economic model based on agriculture; at the same time, this practice was strongly opposed by the northern states that had an industrialized economic model. These opposite points of view about slavery were supported through different arguments including moral arguments that focused on whether slavery was ethical or "correct".
About this, people in the south and general supporters of slavery promoted the idea slavery was moral because it was a common practice during the history and was even part of the bible, which they consider as the law of God. On the opposite, abolitionists stated God had created all people as equal because everyone including slaves were made in His Image.
