When slavery was legal what the slave masters would do is separate the families. They did this when the baby was about one-year-old. What this did to the African American people was it created and made the white man more powerful. What would also happen is it made the blacks humiliated because they never knew their presents or even their own age. To gain even more, power the blacks were told that their master was their father. The blacks knew this wasn't true but the idea that they told them that is terrible. That is the main reason why the white man did this.
What makes you so certain that the slaves' masters weren't also their fathers?
ReplyDeleteI am aware of the fact that some slave's fathers where indeed there masters but when they are so disconnected from each other from a emotional level, the only thing that makes them father and son or daughter is jeans. The possibility that they even love each other is low because the probably is low that they ever cared about each other. So why would we even consider them anything more than there brith father
