al dissearchinctions in general and therefore short-circuited whatever racial biases the northern audience itself maintained.”
The Octoroon, a very popular play scheduled to be performed at Ford’s Theatre the night after Lincoln attended Our American Cousin there, shows that the “tragic mulatto” character had broad appeal and was not limited to novels. White readers and theatergoers were readily able to identify with white or nearly white characters and their oppression under slavery.
This explains the reason they were utilized instead of characters with darker complexions. There were two distinctly different ways of looking at white mulattoes–socially and physiologically. Socially, a white partus slave looked as white as any white person but was considered a black person because he or she had “one drop” of black blood from a distant black female ancestor who was a slave. Such was the case when Mr. C. was told,
“That’s not a white girl; she is a nigger, sir.” Physiologically speaking, however, white partus slaves were white people because all traits of their remote black ancestry had disappeared. The North saw these white slaves as whites. The South saw these white slaves as blacks. An 1857 issue of the Chicago Daily Tribune commented on racial classification in the South.
“The southern census takers, it is notorious, returned all persons as blacks who, were not more than half white. Those who possessed straight hair and Anglo-Saxon features they set down as mulattoes, many of whom were as white-skinned as their owners.”
The actual number of white mulatto slaves is unknowable because all shades from “one drop” to those showing some discernible degree of black admixture were classed together as mulattoes without any distinction as to color.
Travelers who spoke of white slaves in the South, advertisements for white runaway slaves, newspaper articles about white slaves, and light and white heroes and heroines in “tragic mulatto” fiction all served to validate that there were white people who were enslaved in the South. Disbelievers were shown, in the words of the newspaper article cited earlier, that “Slavery has no ‘prejudice against color.’

It had to be hard being a white mulatto slave, because you got disliked by whites, for having some black in you, and blacks for having a white phenotype (physical appearance).

@ Kahlil,
My response: Kahlil it was nice having you here please feel free to come by anyime in the future. You contributed alot. There is also, a strong possibility that I wil open a mixed race mulatto website/forum for us mulattoes. This is very likely, it will be a place dedicated to helping us mulattoes put an end to the ODR (one drop rule). This will happen in early 2008 or sooner (late 2007). I am just learning more so when I start I will be prepared. Keep checking in.

This dynamic is still into play today; I’m a phenotypically White Creole who lived “Black” for 30 years; but, eventually, my White Blood “caught up” to me & I began to receive “Passes” everywhere I went.
Now I’m 100% White; just as before, I was 100% Black. Thanks, Chance, for your liberating Essais.
best Kahlil
p.s. Now tha I’m 100% White, I can’t return to this site. BYE, everybody & ON(C)E LOVE(D)!

what do you mean? you mean people thought you were white? did they treat you differently? if so then why did it take you this long to decide to be white?
