How were albino slaves treated in the American South?

I keep wondering—could they have gotten out easier, or were they stuck in certain roles? Like did they get punished just for how they looked?

I read *The Marrow of Tradition* in my first year of undergrad, and I’m still really glad I did. It’s such a sharp, perceptive novel—especially considering when it was written. I’m hoping this gets some attention and brings a few more people to it in 2019.
If I accused someone in 1900 of being racist, would they see that as a pejorative term?
