That’s interesting and it makes sense to me. It wouldn’t surprise me to take your slave with you as you migrated. Sounds terrible by today’s standards, but there must have been a relationship outside of slave-master. I would like to think he didn’t abuse her, but back then spousal abuse was a way “to keep your wife in line” White or black. I don’t mean to sound indifferent but that’s the way things were. Life was harsh and cruel. Be thankful we live in a better and more understanding society today.
