| + | In this source we hear the horrid stories of slavery. However, it is different because it does not focus on the oppressive white male but on the mistress. It is interesting to see the fault in white women. Also, it is interesting that Weld pushes on the physically abuse. She has to argue that most slave owners act like this cruel mistress. Even though she hints at slaves with souls, she focuses on the physically abuse. Michelle M. | ||

This article recounts what most of the primary sources describe, which is slave women's lives were extremely difficult. They had to worry about family, separation, forced sexual relations, sexual abuse, work, being a housekeeper, and so much more. African American slave women dealt with so much under the system of patriarchy because not only were they under the white master, but the white mistress, and her "husband" as well. Her life was always in an imbalance and in survival mode. --Michelle M. | This article recounts what most of the primary sources describe, which is slave women's lives were extremely difficult.
