Slave owners in the Southern Colonies promoted the formation of families among enslaved individuals to create a more stable and manageable labor force. By fostering family units, slave owners aimed to reduce the likelihood of rebellion and resistance, as strong family ties could encourage slaves to behave more submissively.

Overall, this strategy served to reinforce the system of slavery and increase productivity on plantations.

House slaves. They were selected from the best-behaved and more sophisticated of the field slaves, and they often became trusted friends of the planter's family.

The male field-slaves resented seeing the best-looking of their womenfolk being taken away from them into the house.
