Parents gave their daughters more enslaved people than land. So, to a white southern woman, owning slaves became tied to her very identity. This is the true story of how white women treated their black slaves.
Slavery in the U.S. lasted for more than 400 years. And in that time, the system shaped generations and generations of people. A system that created this psychological distortion.
White people dominated the country. They created a violent and oppressive system to terrorize the Black community. They used lynchings, beatings, and savage treatment to torment the masses. Even when there wasn’t violence, there was segregation.
