BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY: THE USE OF WHITE SLAVES FOR FUND RAISING IN THE 1860s USA.

In the Southern States of America during the Slave Trade, the plantation owner had free access all the young female slaves they own, but not only them that had a wealth of free sex, all their friends and family took advantage of this free breeding production line. Its was also a means of increasing the number of slaves in the plantation but in some cases, it was a means of selling young children off to new masters in other plantations.
When a group that was set up to help provide funding for the welfare and education for the slave children in the South, they hit upon the idea of asking very rich Northern families to make donations to this good course.
























What they found out was no supprise to me, the use of very black slaves and their children did not raise much money, so they decided to use mix-race children who were slaves, some were so light in colour they would pass off as white children. In those staged managed photo shoot and the actual visit to Northern states, the whole attitude changed as the donors were more help full to give donations to the fund raising.
