Kolchin use the term ‘Paternalism’ to refer to the absolute control of all spheres of an individual’s life in a manner that he/she cannot harm himself/herself in an effort to get freedom.

The slave masters therefore exercised paternalism by denying their subjects the power to make a choice over issues that affected them. The slave masters believed that their subjects were not intellectually endowed to know anything and they should always be controlled.

I am a Yeoman Farmer with enough land to keep my family, and I satisfied.

However, my land lies between two plantations and in each one, there are at least fifteen slaves. Hence, living in North Carolina provides the perfect opportunity for anybody to observe both the ...
