order to teach them about suffering and truth. The white
man used religion as an excuse mainly in the context that the
African American was no more than an animal and as such
was entrusted to them so that the they might teach the
African American about religion and the path of
righteousness. This is not to say that this reality was
righteous, for it was not, but it was the excuse many used
for the mistreatment and the enslavement of the African
American. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Slavargu.wps
