Mrs. Roper sent a relative of Nancy’s to discover if her husband had been unfaithful to her and was informed of the result of Mr. Roper's interaction with her slave —a quite-white little boy who resembled Henry Roper. Upon hearing this information, the mistress was so enraged that she nearly killed Nancy with a knife, but was thwarted at the last minute by the intervention of Nancy's mother. Moses grew up with his mother and was trained as a domestic slave until he was about seven years old when his father exchanged Moses and his mother for other slaves. Mother and son were separated; not to meet again for many years to come.

People would also say Nathaniel’s case, it can be said that his lack of a positive role[->0] model, or father figure lead to his criminal activities.

Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X are two perfect examples of people that were either not given the opportunity to learn or denied the opportunity to learn. Frederick Douglass was a man who was born a slave and not given the opportunity to go to school and learn to read and write. Douglass’ mistress had taught him to read and write but was prohibited from teaching him further more by her husband shortly after Frederick’s success in both reading and writing (143).

He only saw her four or five times before she died when he was about seven. The white slave owners thought that since God cursed Ham, slavery was right.
