Harold is correct. If no masters in Virginia had sex with their slaves then
why are there so many M's listed in race column of the 1870 & 1880 Censuses
of Virginia? It is especially interesting that some of the families in the
1870 census are shown with the head of the household as a female black, and
her children as mullato. Hmmm.... where is dad?
