What were the Inter-racial relationships of slaves in North and Latin America in the 1800's?

Many say slaves had relationships with there masters, did this also happen with the slaves in Latin America? and detailsWhat were the Inter-racial relationships of slaves in North and Latin America in the 1800's?Some believe that there was no such thing as sexual intimacy between a black enslaved woman and any white man--a slave owner or overseer or even a mere stranger because mutually desired sex requires choice, a power denied to slaves by bondage.



According to this view, slavery created an extreme dependency that precluded the possibility of chosen as opposed to unwanted sex. As a result, all of the sex that took place between enslaved women and white men constitued some form of sexual assualt. Professor Anglea Davis was among those who made this argument. (Interracial Intimacies, pg. 42)

Not all relationships were sexual assault. Freeing a slave mistress or the offspring of such a union, acknowledging paternity of or assuming financial responsibility for a slave's children, marrying a former slave - all of these are potential signs of affection.

Thomas Wright, a prosperous landowner in Prince Edward County, Virginia and Sylvia, one of his slaves began living together in the 1770s. Though they never married, Wright never hid the nature of their companionate relationship from others. Wright freed his mistres's two children by a fellow slave (born before Wright purchased her) as well as the four children they had together, whom he also assisted financially. Interracial Intimacies, pg. 47



Ralph Quarles, a prosperous Virginia plantation owner and military hero of the Revolutionary War, entered into an intimate association with Lucy Langston, a black woman who had become his slave in a settlement of debt. Langston bore four children by Quarles, all of whom he emancipated along with their mother, and all of whom he carefully provided for financially. Interracial Intimacies, pg. 47
