What a life! What a woman - how terrible! She and her children and her family were at the total whim of her "owners"! Poor woman! :-( Thank goodness the anti-slavery movement triumphed - but it's also very interesting how delicate the politics of it all was - the appeal of Jacob's book to white christian women to show not how inhumane slavery was per se but rather to highlight its effects on white male lust - so it must be bad! Oh dearie me!<br /><br />Thank you for another cathartic and most enlightened piece about this awful part of US history!
