In my African American History it saids "Like other women of thier time, colonial black women suffered from inadequate medical attention while giving birth". "But because black women worked until the moment they delivered,they were more likely than white women to experience complications in giving birth to beat low-weight babies".

Masters and overseers uesd their power to force themselves on female slaves. The results were evident in the large mixed-race populations in the colonies and in the phsychological damage it inflicted on African American women and their mates. In particular, the abuse of black women by white man disrupted the emerging black families in North America because black men usually could not protect their wives from it.
