...authorities executed far more slave women than what the historical record reveals. It turns out that most of the black women who were executed in the era of slavery had killed their white masters and their families. Enslaved women mostly strangled, clubbed, stabbed, burned, shot, poisoned, or hacked to death their white masters, mistresses, overseers, and even their owners’ children. Poisoning and arson were the most prevalent methods slave women used to kill their oppressors.

The arm of “justice” came down hard on these women who chose to resist their oppression by killing their white owners. Virginia executed Jane Williams in 1852 for slashing to death with a hatchet her master’s wife and infant.
