Abstract
The mistresses of successful southern plantations are businesswomen who spend most of their time and energy managing the plantation household. The slave women they oversee have a dual burden: the physical work they perform as slaves and the reproductive labor of producing children who become the property of their masters. If they don't continue to produce offspring, slave women risk being sold and separated from whatever family they have. The hold slavery has on the South changes its social order.
