Because of the power relationships at work slave women in the United States were at high risk for rape and sexual abuse. Many slaves fought back against sexual attacks and some died resisting Others carried psychological and physical scars from the attacks.

As a result of centuries of slavery and such relationships DNA studies have shown that the vast majority of African Americans also have historic European ancestry generally through paternal lines. .
