[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Google Benjamin Banneker and look him up on wiki. He was supposed to have had a white grandmother who was an indentured servant herself, who had a relationship with a black slave. This would have been early in the 18th century because as the century progressed, such black and white relationships became much rarer.[/quote] Oh interesting - so voluntary interracial relationships were more common in 18th century? [/quote] NP, yes, they were more common, until they were outlawed. You should visit Colonial Williamsburg to learn more. They've got some fascinating programs on the lives of the indentured, the enslaved and how Virginia's slave laws changed over time. [/quote]
