chapter7elkasri



Many people that were proslavery used the bible to defend it, because there are passages saying that servants should obey their masters. Black slaves were integrated into Christian society, which also justified pro-slavery thoughts. Even white ministers were buying into the slavery & Christianity coexistence. Slave owners created the “happy slave” and made them believe that they made more money than others. They also made the argument that regular workers got fired when they got old and sick, which left them to live the rest of their lives poor while slaves were cared for their whole lives.
