While looking for quotes about the danger of learning too much, I came across this explanation of being a slave, and will say again, the South used the bible to defend slavery.
Quote:
Timothy 1 6:1
Let as many as are slaves under a yoke keep on considering their owners worthy of full honor, that the name of God, and the teaching may never be spoken of injuriously. Moreover, let those having believing owners not look down on them, because they are brothers. On the contrary, let them the more readily be slaves, because those recieiving the benefit of their good service are believers and beloved.
