Answer:

“Slave mentality” is a phrase packed with a lot of meaning. ... On the one hand, it is the perception that one merely accepted slavery as their lot in life. It's realizing that things are never going to get any better. It's a recognition of your bondage and trying to make the best out of the worst…

Slave cultures grew up within the perimeters of the masters' monopoly of power but separate from the masters' institutions. Religion, which performed the multiple function of explanation, prediction, control, and communion, seems to have been a particularly fruitful area for the creation of slave culture.

As for the Atlantic slave trade, this began in 1444 A.D., when Portuguese traders brought the first large number of slaves from Africa to Europe. Eighty-two years later (1526), Spanish explorers brought the first African slaves to settlements in what would become the United States—a fact the Times gets wrong.
