Did slaves get married to their owners?

Slaves could not be married to their owners, for their owners were most likely white. Back during the Civil War; and before then, it was not necessarily a law, but un-allowed for a black man to marry a white woman, or a black woman to marry a white man. I believe, to marry a white woman or man and be black, I think you must be an ex- slave. You can't be a slave if you marry a slave owner.


Why were black slaves not allowed to marry?

actually some slave owners allowed slave marriages and some didn't the ones who didn't allow it didn't allow until the 1900s but the ones who allowed it did it for selfish reasons like if they were married they could have kids and then the salve owners would take them away afterward for slave work. Also the ones who allowed marriage for slaves thought the men would be less rebellious so he wouldn't leave his wife and children and run away. So I hope this answers your questions! <(^.^)>
