List of white American slave traders who had mixed-race children with enslaved black women

This is a list of white American slave traders who had mixed-raced children by black women they had at one time legally enslaved.

Historian Alexander J. Finley asserts that sex trafficking inherent in American slavery sometimes resulted in long-term relationships, "Enslaved women sold for sex were not purchased to labor toward a tangible end product, such as cotton bolls, but they labored nonetheless, producing emotion, pleasure, and a sense of mastery in the person who enslaved them...In many cases, slave traders...sold the women they raped. In other cases the traders kept certain enslaved women with them for a number of years, or even for a lifetime, relying on these women for domestic, sexual, and socially reproductive labor." Slave traders who fathered biracial children were part of a widespread "racial and sexual double standard...in the slaveholding states [that] gave elite white men a free pass for their sexual relationships with black women, as long as the men neither flaunted nor legitimated such unions."
