He supposedly treated the girl well, but treated the mother like trash. Even if he left some wealth, nothing can erase the trauma that 12 year old girl faced. These types of contradictions explain why some folks continue to behave the way they do in these current generations.

@L Singletary The South was NOT complex in its race relations. This is a rare story. The ONLY place in the South for which it can be said that race relations were complex is Louisiana, which had been colonized by the French; they had a different attitude towards race than Anglo-Americans. The fact of the matter is that most white men did NOT treat their black children like their children; they didn't even acknowledge them in most cases. Almost all Black Americans descend from white men. If it was common for white men to love their black children, most Black Americans would have ancestors with stories like Amanda's, yet we do not. Most black children of white men remained yet another piece of property, and were even sold away from the family with no care about the fact that the child was actually related.

Back in my small northeast Louisiana small predominantly Black segregated town where a Black man could be lynched for looking at a white woman, but several white men would drive around on the Black side of town seeking sex with IMPOVERISHED young Black women and pay them money, there were several little "High Yellow" beautiful Black girls who were raised no different in the segregated town than DARKER Blacks, because there were also light skin dudes like myself who did not have a white parent, but both parents were light skin and we were all in the same boat ha ha.. However, there were several of the young beautiful Mixed race Black girls whose white family members would pick them up on Friday evenings after school after dark to take them out to their family farm in the rural country areas to stay the entire weekend until early Sunday Night for school on Monday's.. In fact, this one mixed race girl was gifted a new Toyota car by her white grandparents while she was still in Junior High School, and they would pick her up on Friday nights after school to stay the entire weekends out in what we would call "Out In The Country" ha ha. There were actually schools in "SOUTH" Louisiana that only enrolled LIGHT SKIN Black children that were set up by white parents of mixed Black children, because they wanted the best for their children, and they LOVED them and did not want them treated like the other Black children.. There was a "RULE" about a "BROWN PAPER BAG" which meant that if a Black child was darker than that yellow/light brown bag they could not be enrolled.. That late U.S. Senator name Strom Thurmond from North Carolina who was RACIST to the BONE was the father of a Black woman who he supported very well, paid for her to attend one of the best HBCU'S, and she became a teacher.. She was interviewed on a TV program, and she stated that he treated her better than most fathers, and that she asked him why was he such as racist, but still loved her..

Amanda is my grandson's paternal 7th cousin. I had heard her story from his other grandmother, but I did not know she died at 43, outlived her mother, or was married to the husband who seems to be a suspect in her death. Quite a story to share with her ancestors.

There's a first time for everything. Every African slave who was originally free had to be captured at SOME point. Amanda led a life of white privilege which was nonetheless tenuous because she was never legally emancipated prior to the Civil War. Therefore she was susceptible to being lumped in with the South's destitute "freed slaves" afterwards. Perhaps she ultimately became a test subject for how to wheedle blacks back into slavery spider web-style.

She married my grandfather at the young age of 14, he was in his early 20's, I think 24yrs old. Slavery still exists, all over the world, and the shame of it all, is often hidden. My heart breaks.

Such a great story!! Glad that the law was on her side back then despite her color. What an interesting tale indeed.

And, thus, we got French Creoles. Having first hand knowledge and experience as a Louisiana Creole, I can say that this went on for decades up until my generation came along in the 1980s. Although placage became REALLY illegal after slavery, most French Creoles married within their own families to preserve the culture and the language. It really wasn't until recently that they began marrying outside of the culture and identifying as black especially when they began moving out of Louisiana in the 1940s and went west to Texas and California. The difference between this story and my ancestors is that Amanda's poor mother was raped whereas placage "marriages" were consensual and were often orchestrated by the girl's mother or grandmother. I believe the orchestration of placage went down at what was known as "Creole Balls" or later on known as "LaLa Dance". I know...boring history lesson and y'all probably don't care lol

Thanks for this triste yet moving and inspiring story of Amanda Dixon. For me, as a 19th Century American historian, this was your best presentation yet : interestingly and accurately presented, with appropriate illustrations. During my teaching and writing career, like yourself, I tried to feature undeservedly forgotten people like Amanda; and found that classes responded well to this, as I always devoted 1 lecture a week, to an individual biography, during which the students were required NOT to take notes and trying to balance the forgotten with the famous : a good way to teach the real sweep of this country's history. Keep up the good work! I always enjoy your thumbnail portraits, and learn much from them!!🙂🙂🙂🙂

Thanks for the comment!

The compartmentalization that went on with these monster slave owners - Jesus Christ. Every American should hear these stories. Amanda was very lucky in some ways and her life was very sad in others, and we can never know some of the details that would tell us what her life was really like. It's hopeful though that the courts actually upheld that will and set a precedent!

You did a great job narrating this story. I loved it. The fact she got to keep her inheritance back in those days to me is a miracle! Thank you.

*Her* *middle* *name* was, *“America?”* *Beautiful,* very *unique!*

I am shocked that she did not have a will. Especially considering all that she went through to get her inheritance and the fact that she had 2 kids and young mom

You have a good point. And as an American historian and church historian, I tried to teach that way. But I was astounded at how little students supposedly-well-backgrounded in history, civics, and real American culture were, and how dull they thought it. So I tried to make the facts a [his/her/]-story. And it worked! My classes were always full! I guess that's why I like "Forgotten Lives" so well 🙂😃🙂 !!

I'm wondering if she was poisoned.

This is a good example of how a person can overcome anything with the right mindset. Even though she was enslaved and mistreated, she was determined to have an education and good life for her children. What a sad but wonderful story. Idk to be sad or happy for this beautiful woman.

Actually Ms. Julia was very intelligent she actually knew how to read and write before she came to him . She helped run the plantation . Amanda didnt know julia was her birth mother she was told her birthmother died having her . Thought MS. Julia remained her nurse maid her Grandmother raised her in the house

So many stories like this that isn't told. Our history is so nonchalantly approached.

Thank you! I enjoyed it completely. Very interesting, very informative, very well written!!!!! Loved it

Well done! Thank you for posting this.

Well at least her father took care of his daughter and grandchildren. That was more than some slave holders did. Life was very different back in those days. She was a lovely lady in spite of the difficulties of prejudice. Loved the Brief Case video you narrated.💙

Men, women and sex were all viewed very differently back then. It was considered a woman's duty to satisfy her husband whether or not she enjoyed it. Throw slavery into the mix and you have a really terrible situation. We're all quite lucky to be here today instead of a couple of centuries ago. I figure that he wasn't a really good guy, but without knowing more about his relationship with the mother he was far from the worst of his time. He may have treated her somewhat like a wife or he may have been her lifelong tormentor.

Interesting. Thank-you for these stories. Affluent America needs to hear these stories and think about how we can honor these ppl who thrived despite one atrocity after another.

Saw a film about this story. It made the mother and father seem to have a romantic relationship. Also, it portrayed the mother as being a young woman, not a 12 yo child
