    Just in, a review of  When Liberty Enslaves: The Toxic Blend of Faith and Politics  by Jerry Aveta. "amazing work" Reviewed by Frank Mutuma for Readers' Favorite The first part of When Liberty Enslaves by Jerry Aveta looks at different events in American history that have influenced various social and political issues. Slavery, which was explicit, violent, and inhumane, caused a huge divide between Americans; the divide was worsened by religious influence. The issue culminated in the Civil War.
