The state imposed forced marriage on freed slaves as welfare cost control

Evidence

Consider how the racial state defines, manages, and regulates family formation: who can form a family racially, who can belong to a family, who can marry, how the offspring will be defined and designated racially and so what the life opportunities are for them. Women thus are implicated in reproducing the nation-state’s population, its citizenry (though even this might become contested technologically before too long). — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1707 (#expands, via linked claim)
