Is it true that both American slaveholders and abolitionists used the same bible verses to argue their beliefs?

by StevoTheMonkey

On the Daily Show from Wednesday, May 13, Jon Stewart interviewed Reza Aslan. During the show he made the claim that both American slave owners and abolitionists used the same verses from the bible to prove their points of view? Is this true? What were the verses?

Aslan makes many false statements. I'd be interested to know what verse he's referring to.
