RE: I Have a Few Questions
Quote:Surely we can agree that anyone who was a slave was mistreated, regardless of the level of violence which may or may not have been directed their way, can't we? No, it wasn't, Rob. Where's the mistreatment or level of violence in being taken to Paris and being treated as Sally was? She bore him several children. If you have a point, I'm missing it. Not every slaveholder mistreated their slaves. To group all slaveholders into that category is wrong. While slavery itself is a dreadful thing, in those times, I think Sally fared better than she would under any other circumstances.
