“It was not uncommon in Saint-Louis to pass by an auction stand, see a woman on the auction block and hear the seller exclaim, ‘How much is offered for this woman? She is a good cook, a good washer, a good obedient servant. She has religion! Why should this man tell buyers she has a religion? I answer, because in Missouri, and as far as I know about slavery in other states, religious instruction is to teach the slave that he should never strike a white man; that God made him a slave; and that, whipped,[Pg 83] he must not find fault, for the Bible says: “He who knows his master’s will and does not do it, will be beaten with many strokes!” And slave owners find such a religion very profitable for them.

-From “The Story of William W. Brown, a Fugitive Slave»(1847).
