So even very young she saw slavery as an ancient practice arising because rich people would rather not do hard work, and also from the tendency of people to clench hard to advantageous passages in the Bible and dismiss the rest.
In the book "Varina" by Charles Frazier, the character reflects on her understanding of slavery from a young age. She perceives it as an age-old institution that emerged primarily due to the wealthy's desire to avoid labor. This perspective highlights a critical view of social hierarchies where the privileged exploit the less fortunate.
Additionally, the character notes the selective interpretation of religious texts. She sees how individuals often cling to passages that serve their interests while neglecting broader moral teachings, illustrating a common tendency to justify unjust practices like slavery while ignoring the teachings of compassion and equality found in religious doctrine.
