On Southern Plantations These people looked after the owners house and family?
Nick1924
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.
A sensitive issue is that the female house-slaves often gave the sons of the house their first sexual experiences, since the white teenage girls were so heavily chaperoned. The male field-slaves resented seeing the best-looking of their womenfolk being taken away from them into the house.
