''Aunt Phillis's Cabin'' follows the social lives on a plantation somewhere in [[Virginia]]. The black slaves - here presented as being loyal to their benign, caring masters - are pious, temperamental, and happy, claiming that it was the will of the Lord [[God]] to make them slaves. Eastman supports this argument by citing areas of the [[Bible]] throughout her book, including Genesis 9:27<ref>Preface to ''Aunt Phillis's Cabin'' - M.H. Eastman (1852)</ref> and various sections from the Book of Deuteronomy.<ref>Preface to ''Aunt Phillis's Cabin'' - M.H. Eastman (1852)</ref>
