All of those biracial babies didn't come from black female slaves who willingly had sex with their "masters". Quite the opposite. 

My freaking goodness.

You may not like that viewpoint but it is true. They were treated like animals being bought and sold but as a slave they had more value than as a free person in the south. Slaves were expensive and just like a prized cow, you make less money if you don't take care of it.

Once they were freed, they had nothing. Now they could make a very small amount of money but then usually be charged more for housing, food, medical care, etc.

Thankfully it isn't the case today but back then it was true for many slaves. All of a sudden being free didn't really mean anything and now they would become indentured servants because they couldn't afford to pay back all the costs the former slave owners now charged them.
