    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.
