What were the strengths and weakness of the black family in the eighteenth century?

Strengths-Naming practices reinforced family ties, families for now biological rather than based on improvised family structures, provided shelter for escapees, allowed blacks to work together to improve their lives as much as possible , indigenous and Islamic religions were able to persist, music, moral stability
Weaknesses-Poor housing, lack of sanitation, minimal cooking utensils and furniture, incest, being split up (prior to 1865) by capture and trade, being black sucks. The book doesn’t answer this question I made all of this up.
