CORRECTING IDENTITIES (TM)

The historical records about Slave Breeding Plantations existing in the United States is true, but the image above and the narrative usually seen with it is false. This image is either AI or some other put-together photographs to trick people into believing the fake historical account, and to trick people into clicking a scam link.

Black enslaved women did not "own" their own bodies.
Slave breeding was a real, documented practice. Following the 1808 ban on the transatlantic slave trade, American slaveholders relied on the natural population growth of the enslaved to maintain and increase their workforce.
Systematic forced reproduction occurred. Plantation owners frequently engaged in the forced breeding of enslaved people, using the control and sexual abuse of Black women to create new generations of human property.
Sexual abuse was rampant. Rape was a common occurrence on plantations. Masters and their sons, as well as overseers, would force themselves on enslaved women to increase their "assets". The mixed-race children born from these rapes were still born into slavery, a practice known as partus sequitur ventrem.
Incest was a known consequence. In some of the most horrifying accounts from formerly enslaved people, women were forced to have sex with relatives, with hoods or bags placed over their heads to conceal the identity of their abuser.

We did locate a Thornhill Plantation in Watsonia, Greene County, Alabama where Black people were enslaved, but to date we've not located a plantation by any spelling of "Thornhill" in Ga. We also found a "Thornhill" enslaver family in Va.

Below is the false information text that is used with this image, or another image similar to this one. This narrative is an unverified account circulated on social media.

To date, there is no record of a "Katherine Thorneпhill nor a Thornenhill plantation in Ga."
The narrative has put together disturbing but historically documented practices of the slave trade with a fake person and place to gain clicks, likes and shares to scam those who click the link, as well as spreading false American history.

This is the narrative that is with the image:
"The Plaпtatioп Lady Who Bred Slaves with Her Owп Soпs: Georgia's Secret 1847 Buried beпeath the red clay of Burke Couпty, Georgia, lies a story so disturbiпg, so deeply eпtwiпed with the darkest logic of Americaп slavery, that for more thaп a ceпtury, it was omitted from local histories, erased from courthouse records, aпd whispered oпly iп the kitcheпs aпd churches of the Black commuпity.
