"In slavery, us have all de clothes us need, all de food us want, and work all de harder' cause us love de white folks dat cared for us. No sirree, none of our slaves ever run' way. That was a happy, with happy days. I'll be satisfied to see my Savior tthat my old marster worshiped and my husband preach about. I wants to be in heaven wih all my white folks, just to wait on them and love them and serve them, sorta like I did in slavery time. That will be enough heaven for Adeline." _- Adeline Johnson, South Carolia Slave Narratives_
