Black History Month in Norwich is going to feature a set of letters from a woman who might typify some of the thinking of the 19th century. The letters written by Sarah Hicks Williams describe her love for a man as ”all kindness and loves me more than I am worthy.” The love affected her life profoundly, and the love was also unique because her lover was a black man.
Benjamin Williams married Sarah and the two moved to live on his plantation in North Carolina.
“There are but two things I know of to dislike in the man. One is his owning slaves. I cannot make it seem right and yet perhaps there may be my sphere of usefulness. The other is not being a professing Christian,” she wrote about her husband.

Something I don’t understand: Mrs Wiiliams married a black man, in whose household slaves were owned, was that correct? Did wealthy blacks also own black slaves? Somebody help me here with an answer.

Yes and for various reasons. One is that they were ”purchasing” their family’s freedom a in this example it was not the case.

There were black slaveowners, however it was not common and they lived in the South. Pull this info on the Internet under Black Slaveowners
