ABSTRACT
Child’s writings, whether fiction, history or polemic, insist on the inclusion of blacks in American society. She wants emancipation, then she wants integration. She sees one way to accomplish this, through miscegenation and the creation of a people with both “white”and slave ancestry. After abolition, mulattoes, emblems of white slaveholders’ sexual exploitation of female slaves, will help redraw the racial map of a truly free nation.
