I'm putting this here because it seems the least wrong location. If it should be somewhere else, just move it. I don't mind.

On to the actual question. In the antebellum South, slave owners had sex with their slaves, with or without the cooperation of the slaves in question. That's not in doubt. But I haven't been able to find any sort of information on how common a thing this was. Actually, I can find quite a few articles, but nothing resembling a consensus. Were such relations common, uncommon, open, hidden? I'm assuming male owner and female slave for purpose of this question.
