Slave Children
- Masters would raise slave children to believe that they were inferior to whites and would spend their lives serving their master.
- As soon as a slave child was born the person who "owned" the slaves would record the birth in a ledger that listed his/her property.
- Women would be whipped for leaving work to nurse their children. Owners would make women nurse their children on the way to work so they wouldn't waste time nursing them at home.
- Slave children were not allowed to work as slaves until they were 12-14 years old.
