Every time they object to something in the culture (abortion, gay rights, stupid ten commandments monuments) it's always the same thing "What if we hadn't acted on our consciences regarding slavery?". Lots of christians supported slavery, too, just like many opposed it. Some even used arcane verses from Genesis to justify their actions ("cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants shall he be"). The Methodist church even split over it, with the pro-slavery faction becoming the Wesleyan denomination. I'm sure more people than just christians opposed slavery, and for reasons beyond religon such as the constitutional guarantees of equal rights for all.
