Explanation:

Slave family ties and marriages were not recognised in American law and the slave owner could sell the slave children, wives, husband and brothers without having any regard to their relationship. The larger plantations had numerous slaves and shifted slaves it split the families.

The sale of slaves used to destroy almost 10 to 20 percent of the slave marriages. Due to death of parents or the sale, more than a third of all slave children's grew up in such households where one or both parents were absent. The slaves could only visit their wives on their owners discretion.
