Northup portrays himself as a religious person on multiple occasions, such as when, after successfully fleeing through a snake-infested forest, Northup credits God for his survival. Religion was comforting to slaves held in bondage, offering them visions of an afterlife in which they could be free from suffering and connect with those they'd lost on earth.
