Isle of Canes and issues of conscience: Master-slave sexual dynamics and slaveholding by free people of color

Article Abstract:

'Isle of Canes' is a real story, assembled from documents left by a family, emphasizing the terrible choices that confronted free people of color in antebellum America, both of which are troubling issues of conscience for modern America and the family's descendants. The first issue addressed is slaveholding by free African Americans, who were once slaves themselves and the second issue is historic concubinage and its role in the sexual dynamics in slave-master relationship.

Searching for free people of color in colonial Natchez

Article Abstract:

The availability of details on free men and women, whether black or mulatto or perhaps 'white', in colonial Natchez, was a function of the times of the rule of the French, British or the Spanish. Free men and women of color lived in colonial Natchez, but documentation on them depended much on archival proof as well as the legal, economic and social environment in which they lived.
