Biography:
The father of Lucas Beauchamp was both "one of old Carothers McCaslin's" slaves and "his son too" (7) - that is, he was the offspring of a sexual relationship between the white plantation owner and one of his female slaves (who is not mentioned at all in this novel, but in Go Down, Moses is named Tomey, and Lucas' father is named Tomey's Turl; also not mentioned in this novel is the fact that the relationship between old Carothers and Tomey is incestuous, as she is his daughter).
