The history of slavery is often framed as a system enforced solely by white men — but historical records tell a more complex and uncomfortable truth. This documentary exposes the hidden role white women played in slavery, including slave ownership, punishment, economic benefit, and legal authority within plantation societies.
Using court documents, wills, diaries, and census records, this video examines how white women actively participated in, benefited from, and enforced slavery, and why this reality was later softened or erased from mainstream history.
This is a factual, evidence-based historical analysis meant to confront the full structure of slavery, not a selective version.
