Unnamed Sartoris Slaves

While pleading his case to Bayard, the captured Ab Snopes says that Rosa Millard's death came as a result of what Ab and Rosa were doing "for [Bayard's] sake and his paw and them niggers" (109). He may be referring exclusively to the Sartoris slaves who are named in the story - Louvinia, Joby and Yance - but it's more likely that he also expects Bayard to include Philadelphia and Loosh in that phrase, and perhaps all the plantation's enslaved population as well. On the other hand, none of The Unvanquished stories ever refer to the slaves who worked for the Sartorises in the fields.
