On the anticipation guide,  number eleven said that “children that were born in slavery were allowed to stay under the same household as their mothers”.  In the pre section, I said no but after reading “Copper Sun” I changed my answer to maybe. The characters Teenie and Tidbit lived in the same house with each other and they are mother and son. Even though that is only one scenario and the book is fiction, there still could be some other slaves that lived with their mothers and this book is historical fiction so it is a fictional story based on historical fiction.
