But its legacy is more complicated than that. The Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery except as a form of punishment. Southerners seized on this loophole. They unjustly arrested thousands of Black people. Black convicts were forced to do hard, unpaid labor. In this way, slavery was reconstructed...

But are these choices really free? Or are we compelled to act the way we do by factors beyond our control? Is the feeling that we could have made different decisions just an illusion? And if our choices are not free, why should we be held morally responsible for...

Third, Luther stressed that his denial...
