to (chupakabra123): you say:
what's your point? that's many many many years ago. what does it have to do with today.
i say: it was not many many years ago! Most of those slaves have their granddaughters/sons living this very day. Take Condi, for example.

Yes, in the legal sense at the time, they were his property to do with as he saw fit.

the slaves were considered property, not people. So I am guessing that whatever a slave owner wanted to do with his "property" was perfectly legal.

And the blacks as you call them aren't the only race that's had to deal with slavery.
Can't you just believe we are all americans, no matter what color our skin is.

They were slaves.
The 'master' could do
whatever he wanted
to them, and by gosh
they did!
Legal had no place then.
