Abstract: "What the evidence of the decade after 1916 tells us is inconclusive but not insignifcant. It shows with alarming clarity that blacks from the outset suffered from a prejudice that relegated them to the lowest rank in the colony's society, and there are strong hints that bondage for blacks did not follow the same terms as for whites" (Vaughan, 1972). What Vaughn's statement doesn't reveal is that African women were most likely on the lowest rung of society.
