Slave families often faced significant challenges in staying together due to the realities of slavery, including the threat of sale and separation. Enslaved individuals could be sold at any time, which frequently led to the breakup of families. Despite these hardships, enslaved people often formed strong kinship bonds and community ties to support one another, and some managed to maintain family connections even when separated. Overall, while many families were torn apart, the resilience of enslaved individuals allowed for continued relationships and the creation of chosen families.
In most cases, slave families were not kept together. Many times the husbands were separated from the wife and children.
