Not likely, the easiest way to control slaves would be to instill religion into them. They would then put up with their lot as the bible mentions slaves a number of times. This is especially true if the religion instilled in slaves promised a "better life" and a "heavenly reward" if they were "good." In this case good meant being good slaves, obeying the master, working hard, not complaining, not running away.
