Fichaly refers to a derogatory epithet that slave owners may have used to describe people of Italian descent. The term became offensive and insulting because it was used to refer to people whose rights and freedom had been taken away. While the exact origin of the term is unknown, it is believed to have developed over time due to the derogatory way that Italians were regarded in a racist manner. The term was used during the period of slavery in the United States, and its use may have varied depending on the region and the time period.
