"Slaveholders pride themselves upon being honorable men; but if you were to hear the enormous lies they tell their slaves, you would have small respect for their veracity". (pg.39)
I found this small passage at the start of chapter 8 interesting because it just again shows how badly slaves are treated. The quote also says that slaveholders believe that they are trustworthy and important men but they really are liars and bad people. Most slaveholders treat their slaves poorly to begin with but if they also lie to them I think that that is just horrible.

Eliott,
I agree with you, i think that that was a very interesting passage and it really showed the level of abuse toward the slaves. It was my second choice in picking a interesting quote.
