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.
During slavery in the United States, slaves were not legally allowed to marry in most states. They were considered property and did not have the right to legal marriage. Some owners allowed slaves to participate in ceremonies or unions recognized by their community, but these were not legally binding.
Slave owners gave their slaves their last name to assert ownership over them and to reinforce the slaves' status as property rather than individuals. This practice also helped slave owners keep track of their slaves and maintain control over their lives.
Slave owners treated their slaves as property rather than as human beings, subjecting them to harsh living conditions, physical abuse, and forced labor. They had complete control over all aspects of their slaves' lives and often used violence and fear to maintain power and control. Slave owners sought to dehumanize their slaves in order to justify their exploitation and mistreatment.
Slave owners offered rewards for runaway slaves to incentivize others to help capture and return them, as well as to deter other slaves from attempting to escape. It was also a way for slave owners to exert control and maintain power over their enslaved population.
Slaves were typically controlled by their owners or overseers, who enforced discipline and ensured that the slaves followed instructions and performed their assigned tasks. In some cases, slave rebellions or resistance efforts were carried out to challenge the control of slave owners.
Plantation owners demonstrated trust in slaves by assigning them supervisory roles over other slaves, allowing them to handle money or valuable items, and permitting them to work outside the plantation unsupervised. These actions were usually based on the belief that the slaves would not betray their owners due to the fear of punishment or societal conditioning.
