[19] "Field hands"--"Force"--"Hands"--"People," and "Niggers," are terms
applied to the purchased labourers of a plantation; but "Slaves"--never.
"Boys" is the general term for the men, and "women," for females. It is
common to address a negro forty years of age as "boy." If much older he
is called "daddy," or "uncle;" but "mister," or "man"--never. The
females, in old age, become "aunty," "granny," or "old lady."
