Answer to Question 2
Through the research of W. E. B. Du Bois and many others, one knows that slave families had no standing in law. Marriages between slaves were not legally recognized, and masters rarely respected those unions when they sold adults or children. Slave breedinga deliberate effort to maximize the number of offspringwas practiced with little attention to the emotional needs of the slaves. The slaveholder, not the parents, decided at what age children would begin working in the fields. The slave family could not offer its children shelter or security, rewards or punishments. The man's only recognized family role was to sire offspringbe the sex partner of a woman. In fact, slave men often were identified as a slave woman's possession, for example, Nancy's Tom. Southern law consistently ruled that the father of a slave is unknown to our law. However, the male slave did occupy an important economic role: Men held almost all managerial positions open to slaves.
