Lesson 15

1. Read “The Christian Slave”. You’ll want to read my explanations below before reading the poem. You can listen to Mr. G read this poem and talk about it if that helps you.
2. This is a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier against slavery. The two stanzas I’ve copied below seem to be saying that Muslims have freed their slaves. “Moslem” is an old spelling of Muslim. A “turbaned Bey” is a man wearing a turban. The “Prophet” is the Prophet Muhammad, who is the most important prophet according to the Muslim religion. “Kebla” refers to the direction Muslims must turn to pray. Fetters are like handcuffs. Islam (the Muslim religion) did not get rid of slavery, but Islam encouraged owners to free their Muslim slaves in certain cases. This part of the poem is referring to that. He uses Islam to contrast with what he’s saying about Christians.

Oh, shame! the Moslem thrall,
Who, with his master, to the Prophet kneels,
While turning to the sacred Kebla feels
His fetters break and fall.

Cheers for the turbaned Bey
Of robber-peopled Tunis! he hath torn
The dark slave-dungeons open, and hath borne
Their inmates into day:

2. The next stanza is about the Christian slave. He says Muslims sometimes free their slaves who are fellow Muslims. What does he then say about being a Christian slave? (Answers)

But our poor slave in vain.
Turns to the Christian shrine his aching eyes;
Its rites will only swell his market price,
And rivet on his chain.

3. What’s the point he’s trying to make with this poem? (Answers)

4. Paul writes to a slave owner. His letter is the book of Philemon. The New Testament doesn’t outlaw slavery directly. It teaches us to love and to treat others the way we love and treat ourselves. That pretty much outlaws slavery in its own way. How does Paul encourage the slave owner to treat his slave? (Answers)
