I brought the idea up to my friends the next day at school and it was clear they were clueless.

My sexual education “brush up lessons” came from health class in middle school as well…

Slaves were purchased in order to make profit and in many cases bred against their will in order to create more workers in order to yield more profit on the plantation.
