Is it too far fetched?

Question

Let's say if a white man was romantically involved with a black slave and his father found out and didn't approve. Is it too far fetched to say that the father would whip and beat that slave and maybe even sell to someone else for the actions she committed with his son?

Answer 1

Probably so, but only because the father felt he had rights over that slave.

Answer 2

no thats racism alive and well right there

African-American slave; believed to have been the mistress of Thomas Jefferson. Born in 1773 in Virginia, she was born to Elizabeth (Betty) Hemings, a slave of African and European descent. Sally Hemings' father was allegedly her mother’s owner, John Wayles, a white lawyer and slave trader of English descent who had emigrated to Virginia. As Wayles was also the father of Martha Wayles (Skelton) Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson’s wife, Hemings and Martha Jefferson were believed to have been half-sisters.  Little concrete information is known about Sally Hemings’ life at Monticello, she is described as being "light colored and decidedly good looking."

Answer 3

Before the end of legal slavery in the US..   definatly in the realm of possible.  Although, it would more likely be the white daugher with a male slave.

Answer 4

It's not too far fetched if this i taking place during the era before the civil war.
