Because of the power relationships at work slave women in the United States were at high risk for rape and sexual abuse. Many slaves fought back against sexual attacks and some died resisting Others carried psychological and physical scars from the attacks. Sexual abuse of slaves was partially rooted in a patriarchal Southern culture which treated black women as property or chattel. Southern culture strongly policed against sexual relations between white women and black men on the purported grounds of racial purity but by the late 18th century the many mixed-race slaves and slave children showed that white men had often taken advantage of slave women. Wealthy planter widowers notably such as John Wayles and his son-in-law Thomas Jefferson took slave women as concubines; each had six children with his partner: Elizabeth Hemings and her daughter Sally Hemings (the half-sister of Jefferson's late wife) respectively Both Mary Chesnut and Fanny Kemble wives of planters wrote about this issue in the antebellum South in the decades before the Civil War Sometimes planters used mixed-race slaves as house servants or favored artisans because they were their children or other relatives. As a result of centuries of slavery and such relationships DNA studies have shown that the vast majority of African Americans also have historic European ancestry generally through paternal lines. .
