you are describing chattel slaves dummy. not all slaves are chattel slaves. Jefferson slaves but not all where chattel matter of fact most skilled slaves in the south earned enough to buy their own freedom after about 5 years of saving. many took the names of their masters and became apart of the family in a manner of speaking and stayed on working.. while free black men they still had no rights in this country so opportunities not as a slave were extremely limited. enter the social part of slavery. one being bound by his station in life due in this particular case to races and or gender.
