I was at You Tube the other day and somehow... well, you know how it goes... You're searching for something in particular and then up pop these stories on the side that have little or nothing to do with what you are searching...
Well, I found several stories of how Black slaves got revenge on their White slave owners. You could understand why the slaves did what they did, but still...
This one slave woman who believed (may have known) that the slave owner's son murdered her children in a very cruel way, was the cook and the family was having this big wedding dinner, and you guessed it: she poisoned them all, sparing only the lives of the small children present.
The thing is, a lot of slave owners neglected giving the slaves the most important thing they could have given them: knowledge of God through the Scriptures, although some slaves did read the Bible, clandestinely or otherwise. They also should have been allowed to go to (I say the Catholic) Church but we never hear stories of that either.
So this woman did not know the scripture about "Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord; I will repay" and who knows.. Maybe she wouldn't have listened anyway.
In any case, there were several videos on slaves who did this kind of thing...
And in a way you cannot blame them... except that the slave mentioned above likely went to Hell for what she did just the same (if she did not repent. Apparently she got away with it because she fled)... For one thing, she punished a lot of people who had nothing to do w/ the death of her children...
In any case, you have to put yourself in the shoes of a person, and we all know the slaves were not considered persons. They had no rights at all. The District Attorney undoubtedly did not care at all what happened to her children.. so who would not snap?
