The Bible was constantly used as a defense and justification of slavery by slaveholders. As for justification of Jim Crow laws, I've done research and come back with nothing.

Well since we don't have any images of pro-slavery protestors, your whole argument is now invalid. :-P But more seriously, even those using it for justification of slavery had to twist or interpret the words in a way that those opposed to gay marriage do not. The Bible is rather direct and clear on its stance about homosexuality, in a way that I don't think it is in regards to slavery. In other news, I almost totally missed this post due to the way notifications about the same topic stack. Good thing I came back on a whim.

I think that 5 lines on how to conduct the sale of your daughter is a pretty overt way of saying "you're allowed to sell your daughter into slavery, also slavery is chill".
