This was legal under all the morals, segregation was legal, slavery was legal and so separating the mother and child was legal too. Many of the European settlers started to use legality as a guide to morality. It took them generation and generation to understand that legality will never equal to morality.

The community always wanted to cultivate a society that prioritizes love and harmony over animosity and conflict, while a baby is born the major nutrient is absorbed through liquid gold also known as breastmilk. Through thick and thin the war proceeded to save their children. Most women of that time where kept in cages so they don’t potentially escape the wards. This was a cunning way that the British maintained to grow their slave community
