Slave women were forced to comply with s*****
advances by their masters on a very regular basis.
Consequences of resistance often came in the form of physical beatings; thus, an enormous number of slaves became concubines for these men. Most often the masters were already bound in matrimony, which caused tension and hatred between the slave and the mistress of the house. Many “mulatto” or racially mixed children also resulted from these relations. Because the “status of the child” followed that of his or her mother, the child of a white man would not be freed based upon patriarchal genealogy. These children also became a sore reminder for the mistress of her husbands infidelity.

Slave owners often impregnated enslaved women on purpose so they could have more workers in the field.

Mistresses often beat enslaved women for having s** with their husbands while the husband was never held accountable.

Owners of enslaved women usually took no responsibility or ownership of the babies they had with these women.

Me: Male. If we still had slaves, the only reason I would have had any, would have been to buy the prettiest females, to f*** as master.
It is how it is
