As many historians note, children made up a significant part of the enslaved populations of New France and British North America, often being treated as property from the moment of their birth and being passed between owners as objects of heritage. Enslaved youth lived with the same strict, merciless restrictions as their adult counterparts. This advertisement highlights the normalization of the presence of enslaved children in colonial Canada, and, as such, challenges the conception that Canadian slavery was less severe. It also shows how bondage crossed generations and touched entire family trees, both Black and white. https://omeka.uottawa.ca/mathieu-black-canadian-history-exhibit/files/original/e975c787da7bc3569d7cded6a4f2a8bd.jpeg 263463539d013943f548d2816c5fa6bc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
