[Interviewer’s summary] On this plantation were more than 100 slaves who were mated indiscriminately
and without any regard for family unions. If their master thought that a certain man and woman
might have strong, healthy offspring, he forced them to have sexual relation, even though they were
married to other slaves. If there seemed to be any slight reluctance on the part of either of the unfortunate
ones, “Big Jim” would make them consummate this relationship in his presence. He used the same
procedure if he thought a certain couple was not producing children fast enough. He enjoyed these orgies

very much and often entertained his friends in this manner; quite often he and his guests would engage in
these debaucheries, choosing for themselves the prettiest of the young women. Sometimes they forced the
unhappy husbands and lovers of their victims to look on.
Louisa and Sam were married in a very revolting manner. To quote [Louisa]:
“Marse Jim called me and Sam ter him and ordered Sam to pull off his shirt ⎯ that was all the
McClain niggers wore ⎯ and he said to me: Nor, ‘do you think you can stand this big nigger?’ He had
that old bull whip flung acrost his shoulder, and Lawd, that man could hit so hard! So I jes said ‘yassur, I
guess so,’ and tried to hide my face so I couldn’t see Sam’s nakedness, but he made me look at him
anyhow.”
“Well, he told us what we must git busy and do in his presence, and we had to do it. After that we
were considered man and wife. Me and Sam was a healthy pair and had fine, big babies, so I never had
another man forced on me, thank God. Sam was kind to me and I learnt to love him.”
