Within the book Masters & Slaves in the House of the Lord: Race and Religion in the American South, 1740-1870 edited by John B. Boles, contained some information on a family like relationship or Patriarchal relationship the Slave owners had with their slaves, as on pg. 109 the author writes about how some people slavery as that god needed them to take care of the slaves, the owners were responsible for them in gods eyes. I found this to be a interesting way that slavery may have effected slavery in that god made them justify slavery by saying they were responsible to the slaves. I hope to expand on this in future posts.
