    Do what? The source you linked stated it was about a white (U.S.) southerner and a black child. What “indigenous” person do you think is depicted here…?

    Edit: original comment said this was about a “colonist” and an “indigenous person”.

          This was around 10 years after the abolishment of slavery in the south, was it not referencing that?

          If not what is the actual context?

            I’m being a little technical, but I think it’s important. He/she would have been either an ex-slave, or a child of slaves, or just in general an African most likely. But definitely not “a slave”.

              Depends… I bet in the head of Mr. Chiv there, it’s still a slave.
