Slaves were owned and used by people issued from the whole socioeconomic spectrum. It is a common misconception that slavery was practiced exclusively by the elite, yet farmers, blacksmiths, traders, clergy members and governors also enslaved Native and African individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The parish registers, available on the Drouin Institute\u2019s website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Genealogy Quebec<\/a>, allow us to find slave owners from every socioeconomic level. For example, the sisters of the Congregation, members of the clergy, owned five slaves between 1733 and 1796: two <em>Panisse<\/em> girls, one <em>Fox<\/em>, two <em>Pout\u00e9outamises<\/em> and one male of African descent named Paul \u00c9tienne:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#8221; The twenty-nine of November one thousand seven hundred seventy-two by me, undersigned priest, was buried in the cemetery near La Poudri\u00e8re the body of Paul Etienne [black] belonging to the sister of the Congregation, who died yesterday in the hospital aged about seventy years.

He was baptized only one year and two months before his death. No other part of his life is known as of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The king of France is regularly mentioned as a slave owner in the archives. We identified 26 individuals who were slaves to king Louis XV. Curiously, France advertises itself at the time as a free land for everyone (Peabody, 1996 : 3). Many French and Quebecers would be surprised to know that their ancestors enslaved Native and Black men and women, in New France as well as on the old continent (Boulle, 2007).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the king&#8217;s slaves, we find two Panisses who were buried simultaneously:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#8221; On the eleventh of November, one thousand seven hundred and fifty-six were buried in the cemetery of the general hospital the bodies of two small panises belonging to the king who died on the present day, baptized in the room.

The tasks associated with this title consisted of torturing prisoners and executing death row inmates. As a matter of fact, he was the torturer of Marie-Jos\u00e8phe-Ang\u00e9lique, a black slave accused of having set the city of Montreal on fire. He died ten years after his arrival on Quebec territory, during which he was hospitalized eleven times. Mathieu L\u00e9veill\u00e9 will have fled certain death in Martinique&nbsp;to impose the death penalty on the criminals of New France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#8221; On the tenth of September, one thousand seven hundred and forty-three was buried in the cemetery of the H\u00f4tel Dieu of Quebec the body of Mathieu [black] maitre des hautes oeuvres who died the previous day aged about thirty-four years and provided with the sacraments of penance and extreme unction were present Jean Baptiste Le Fort Devilleneuve and Louis Rose dit Bellefleur who signed with us &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <em>\u00ab Le dixieme Septembre mil sept cent quarante trois a \u00e9t\u00e9 enterr\u00e9 dans le cimeti\u00e8re de l\u2019h\u00f4tel Dieu de quebec le corps de mathieu [noir] maitre des hautes \u0153uvres mort le jour pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent \u00e2g\u00e9 d\u2019environ trente quatre ans et muni des sacrements de penitence et d\u2019extreme onction ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sente Jean Baptiste le fort devilleneuve et Louis rose dit Belle fleur lesquels ont sign\u00e9 avec nous&nbsp;[sic]&nbsp;\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/2b0f8252c19c3cd9706a29323\/images\/6e0c8302-a2f2-2855-3f06-e997ced19f5f.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/2b0f8252c19c3cd9706a29323\/images\/6e0c8302-a2f2-2855-3f06-e997ced19f5f.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><figcaption> Source: Record 169488, LAFRANCE, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">GenealogyQuebec.com<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first part of this article demonstrated that the enslavement of native and black individuals was widely accepted in society, although it was not the norm in France.
