"The Bible was specifically used to justify slavery in the United States: it is quoted in the secession documents of every Dixie state in the Civil War. (Despite the spinmeisters of the modern age, the war was about slavery, not states' rights - every secession document explicitly justifies slavery as the reason for secession.)"
