In Virginia, the child of a slave woman and a free man was considered a slave. This legal principle was based on the status of the mother, as children inherited the status of their mother under the principle of partus sequitur ventrem.
That child was also a slave.
The child slave likely called their mother by her name, "mother," or a term of endearment if possible. Communication and contact among family members were restricted in many instances, so the child may have used any opportunity to show love and connection to their mother.
The child of a slave woman and a free man was typically considered a slave under the principle of partus sequitur ventrem, meaning that the child's legal status followed that of the mother. This meant that even if the father was free, the child would still be considered a slave.

A slave
If your mother or father is a slave, then when you are born, you are automatically a slave.
It would be property of the slave's owner.
