Elderly slaves contributed substantially to the creation and
perpetuation of the unique African American culture and antebellum
plantation society in the South. Interwoven with this major
argument are two subthemes. One centers on the fact that by the
late antebellum period elderly slaves were some of the chief
transmitters of Africanism; the other focuses on how gender based
distinctions of the elderly became blurred. Although the roles of
the elderly often changed, elderly slaves contributed to the
plantation economy. It is also true that those old people who were
incapacitated posed serious economic and social concerns for
owners, although many of the problems of elderly care were solved
by the compassion of slave community members
