Anticipation guide – Alecia Smith

The wives of slave owners accepted that their husbands would have sexual relations with women slaves they owned, if the women could have healthy babies.

No that is not the case. No women wants their husband to cheat and have another baby. For example, let’s take slavery out of the picture. If you had a husband and he cheated on you with another women and had a baby with her, would you be mad? Of course anybody would be mad because you have to deal with that baby. Every time you see that baby it will remind you of your husband’s mistakes.”Why would he have that baby with that creature!” That’s probably what a lot of wives of slave owners said.
