Question:

What effect did Protestantism have on labor?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Protestantism as a choice of sects, rose out of the working class after the Church of England. British Methodism was the first voice raised against slavery. The Bible approves of slavery.

British elites, heavily involved with government and by oath to the Church of England were bedeviled by the calls to let go of the lucrative trade of transporting slaves to make rum.
