Slave owners often separated enslaved individuals from their families to exert control and instill fear, ensuring compliance and reducing the likelihood of rebellion. By breaking familial bonds, owners could weaken the emotional ties and support systems among enslaved people, making them more reliant on their masters. This practice also facilitated the sale and distribution of enslaved individuals as property, maximizing profit and minimizing resistance. Ultimately, such separations were a strategy to reinforce the power dynamics inherent in the institution of slavery.
