Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many male/female ties were severed as families were often separated when they were sold to different plantations or when slaveholders tried to prevent their slaves from escaping together. The transition was easiest for artisans, preachers, or house servants who had developed skills and connections that allowed them to transition more smoothly into free society. However, most African Americans did not remain on plantations and sought opportunities elsewhere, such as in cities or through migration to the North.
