They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers

5.0

“If we acknowledge that white women stood to personally and directly benefit from the commodification and enslavement of African Americans we can better understand their participation in postwar white-supremacist movements and a atrocities such as lynching - as well as their membership in organizations like the Ku Klux Klan. Souther white women’s roles in upholding and sustaining slavery form part of the much larger history of white supremacy and oppression. And through it all, they were not passive bystanders. They were co-conspirators.”
