I was reading "The Black Jacobins" by C.L.R. James and came across this sentence describing the attitudes of planters towards their slaves in pre-revolution Haiti.
Except for the Jews, who spared no energy in making Israelites of their slaves, the majority of the colonists religiously kept all instruction, religious or otherwise, away from the slaves.
This is the first time it's ever occurred to me that there were any non-Christian slaveholders at all. So who were these early Jewish slavemasters? What was their system of religious education towards their slaves actually like? How did they get along with the other gentile slaveowners in colonial society?
Also, this question touches on some contentious topics, so pretty please do not use this questions as an excuse to be anti semitic.
I discuss the questions of the religion of slaves owned by Jews here- overall, though, the kinds of Jews who owned slaves generally did so in the same ways that their Christian neighbors did. The Jewish community was pretty small and integrated- especially in the South, as I discuss here- and we don't have so much information about specifically Jewish practices/tendencies in this regard.
(Also, as I type this I realize that these answers all pertain to the United States, not the Americas in general- this answer gives some indication of the more general situation in the Americas.)
