Black Spirituality Religion : I Call Upon The Innocent Souls

Let me remind you of something. When the slavemaster beat or killed his female slave, it was nearly always a scenario where the slavemaster was intimidated (by another male slave that the female was interested in) or he, the slavemaster became jealous or the female slave resisted rape.

"I remember very well that when I was a child, our next door neighbor whipped a young woman so brutally, that in order to escape his blows she rushed through the drawing room window in the secind story, and fell upon the street pavement below and broke her hip." American Slavery As It Is: Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses by The American Ant-Slavery Society. New York, 1839, page 54.
 
This is the typical "breaking in" process of the young Queens. The slavemaster decides it's time to rape the child and she refuses. But they, the slavemaster, took pleasure in the resistance. They didn't care because they can always buy another while simultaneously sending fear to the other Queens on the plantation who would resist.

Think about Queen Celia.

"The following circumstances occurred in Charleston, in 1828:

A slaveholder, after flogging a little girl about thirteen years old, set her on the table with her feet fastened in a pair of stocks. He then locked the door and took out the key. When the door was opened she was found dead, having fallen from the table." American Slavery, page 54.

The above quote is my analysis, right?

Ok, just in case someone doesn't agree with my conclusion:

"John Brown, a slaveholder, and a member of Presbyterian church of Courtland, Alabama, stated the following a few weeks since, in Carollton.

"A man near Courtland, of the name of Thompson, recently shot a negro woman through the head, and put the pistol so close that her hair was singed. He did it in consequence of some difficulty in his dealing with her as a concubine."

American Slavery, page 47. (bold mine).
