In Little Women is Hannah, the maid white American or not? Just wondering as she seems to say things differently to the other characters in the book, e.g. the bread is 'riz'?

But clearly they all thought she was white. At least in 1933 if they'd thought she was black they'd have had a black woman playing her, much as in Gone With the Wind, even though these days they're a bit more cautious about showing blacks as any sort of domestic servant.
