A Widow Chose Her Tallest Slave for Her Five Daughters… to Create a New Bloodline

from Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions · host Michael D.

In 1842 deep in the heart of Georgia’s cotton empire, a widow chose the unthinkable; she desired to continue a bloodline that she thought was a chosen bloodline from God. Due to the fact, her late husband didn't leave her with a son to carry on the bloodline, she decided to develop a twisted plot so the Whitfield's name and legacy would continue. As the story continues, does God make mistakes by choosing boys over girls and prematurely taking a loved one away, or do we tend to blame God for man's imperfections and selfish desires? She decided her very own five daughters would be the beneficiaries of son-bearing and that Josiah, the slave, his blood, would carry the secret of the Whitfields for generations to come.  She believed the Whitfields were destined for greatness, their blood stronger and purer, chosen by God. Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral, physical, and mental health issues.
