Slave women were forced to comply with sexual
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 sex 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.

Most likely consensual, not as a result of slavery. Slavery was abolished in Britain in 1804, and the war of emancipation fought in the USA from 1860-1865. There was discrimination in 1890, but slavery had long being abolished in the western world by this time.

So the bolded is very incorrect. Sile12 check your facts.

Not sure about the date really, Wanted to write 1800’s because I saw the picture on about four different pages with different 18th century dates.

The picture was taken in France not in Britain
This is the full copy of the picture, below you see this citation:

"Type de « négresse » d’Adana Nourrice noire allaitante éditions G. Mizrahi, Adana, carte postale, 9 x 14,"

Yes both the United States and the Britain abolished in 1804,

Revolutionary France abolished slavery in 1794, but it
was restored by Napoleon in the French colonies in
1802.

Thanks sir

The picture was definitely taken before 1890. 1890 is just ten years from the 20th century. Believe me, slavery had long been abolished before this time.

Britain abolished slavery in 1804 and championed the abolition in other territories worldwide. USA, a former British colony, on the other hand had to fight a bloody civil war before slavery could be abolished in 1865.

Judging by the clarity of the negress photo, I should put the date anywhere between 1820 to the 1840s, as slavery was abolished in France in 1848 during the second republic. History is not a subject of speculation, but I can state emphatically that the photo was taken long before 1890. By this time the French already had territories in Africa so slavery during this period would have put France at a disadvantage in the league of nations who were rivals with each other.

Slavery was not abolished in the US until 1865.

Sile12:



Abolition of slavery occurred sequentially in more than one stage. In 1804, all Northern states had voted to abolish the institution of slavery within their borders. In most of these states, however, abolition was not immediate. Instead, gradual emancipation laws set deadlines by which all slaves would be freed, releasing individuals as they reached a certain age or the end of a certain work period.

The slave trade was again abolished in the United States from 1 January 1808. However, slavery continued on an illegal basis for almost sixty years till around this date you mentioned. The campaign to end slavery itself in the United
States was long and bitter.

Just to clarify some points, The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807, which was enacted in 1808, did not abolish slavery in the U.S. The act made it illegal to import Black/African slaves from other countries to America. However, slaves that were slaves prior to the act's enactment remained slaves legally. Internal slavery was abolished in early 1865, as we already mentioned, but slavery continue illegally until at least June 19, 1865. To this day, Juneteenth is considered a holiday to some African Americans.

Anyway, not arguing with you. Its nice to see this topic discussed on Nairaland.

(Memorial) Planking.

Slaves captured in Africa were stowed away on ships during the “Middle Passage” journey during the late 16th century and forced to sleep on wooden planks. “Planking” was the term used when slave owners transported the slaves on these ships. Unclad, underfed, and forced to lie on hard planking in
unhygienic conditions, many slaves failed to survive the transatlantic voyage and thrown overboard.

Quite disturbing to imagine people packed like sardines kept in a morgue.
