Did manywhite slave owners have children by african slave women?
Some did, but by no means all. The modern perception of our sex-drenched culture is that such events were the rule rather than the exception, and this was not so. Most white slave owners were married, and most wives would not put up with such betrayals. If you were the sort who did do this, the neighbors would know, and such behavior was socially unacceptable. The other slaves would certainly know and talk. Children born of slave mothers were also slaves, which was awkward to say the least. The most notorious instance was Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings. However, Sally was actually the biological half sister of Jefferson's wife Martha, because Martha's father WAS such a man. Sally looked a lot like Martha, and Jefferson's relationship with Sally apparently took place after Martha had died (Jefferson never remarried). It did happen but was infrequent enough to cause commentary when it did, as it was almost always known. That was a very religious time in America, and people took religious teachings seriously.
